Summary

We ve spent a great deal of time in this chapter talking about the productivity benefits that Oracle JDeveloper 10 g provides. As you have seen, Oracle JDeveloper 10 g contains all of the expected capabilities of a top-of-the-line Java IDE. That alone would make it worthy of use, but add on the fact that Oracle JDeveloper 10 g also contains the capabilities of a fairly robust database development and integration tool and we have a single development environment that combines the capabilities of three separate tools. Of course, we can t forget the integrated open source toolkits like JUnit for unit testing, Ant for nightly builds/deployments, log4j, and the ability to add in almost anything one could think of utilizing the Oracle JDeveloper 10 g plug-in features, and so the tool continues to grow in capability and appeal .

We have yet to even come to the trump card, the ADF framework. With the ADF framework, Oracle took the robustness and enterprise capability of the BC4J framework and integrated it with multiple presentation delivery methods , among which is the leading controller framework in the industry today, Struts. It then removed the learning curve associated with BC4J and even eased the barrier to development with Struts by providing an amazing visual development environment based around UML diagramming and notation. In addition, the ADF framework augments the Oracle technology stack with the leading alternatives in the marketplace today.
