It allows me to complete my job and complete the implementations where I need to develop a Java Application, SOA composites, BPM processes and OSB pipelines. It allows to shorten time of developing and work with the develop team in a way that the job is done faster and with less errors.
JDeveloper has all required tools to develop an application for any of it products, it provides all required tools to complete the life cycle of the application. Also it has an integrated Weblogic runtime environment so you dont have to do extra job downloading more files, configuration etc. It has integration with other tools like Git so you can work with your team on the same application. The Oracle community is big so you find many tutorials that makes it easy to develop on JDeveloper and how to manage it. It provides many options to create Webservices with just one click and many other things so you don´t have to spend much time to develop an application, the developing is faster.
The product requires by default much memory of your computer, so if you have a team of developers you will have to do some adjustment to your laptops in order to run JDeveloper smoothly.

The development of components in java: web applications, ejb (mdb), jca has been facilitated for the developments to be implemented in weblogic platforms. The design of uml diagrams is limited in terms of diagrams but it is quite practical. The developments with BPM are perfectly integrated in this IDE as well as those of OSB and SOA.
Integrated development of different ORACLE technologies Easy integration with agile development components. Easy integration with software versioning components Well-defined developer type roles from database development to SOA and BPM development
Sometimes it creates problems with old versions of svn. Sometimes it generates problems on the dependencies of some component when changes are made. The version that includes SOA / OSB and BPM can generate problems with the edition of xml that contain definitions of adapters and their dependencies.

develop OSB web services for companies, easier to develop, less time and more benefits
I like the way in which tests can be done, the tools for development, how debugging is done, how development is integrated in the weblogic console without importing and exporting, but directly by this ide I can do it by configuring, the improvements as soon as the graph
the configuration and installation of it, is a little problematic to do it, but when you have a version of oracle, and domains with other ides, it is very heavy as far as RAM is concerned, if you use it for java development you forget how to program in java since you only bring components, it could be said that it would be an advantage but only for loose programming.

I learned the SOA architecture, with this software, configuration of the oracle products, configuration of the weblogic that is something difficult for new users, but it is very good for business environments where great resources are handled
is a great program for development under Oracle environment, par excellence offers several development applications such as HTML, ADF, BPM, SOA, PL / SQL, offers very good support even though I used it when I was in version 11g I do not complain about software, I recommend it 100% if you are an Oracle user
good as all business software, the great oracle offers good benefits as long as you acquire licenses that are very expensive in some cases, on the other hand, in the version you use, it usually consumes many resources both of space and memory, apart that its configuration and integration with other products tends to be tedious

I got good knowledge when I practiced it and I got into development with several projects where I work
its good functionality for the design, coding, debugging and deployment phases, through a visual approach
It consumes a lot of memory when it is working, it closes a few times and you have to return to open the software

Powerful coding in terms of robust development and help ucho the performance that this can lead to companies.
Facilitate the integration and use of the database for the development of applications that allow to be at the forefront of each day, it has good management in HTML, BPM and SOA, it is a complete Oracle system.
It is a bit difficult to achieve the system that this provides that each one has its management in different business environments.

JDeveloper is a free proprietary software with lots of features beyond Java EE like SOA, modelling, and databases. Despite its acceptable quality and a big company behind, it does not seem to be a choice for a Java development anymore. I used JDeveloper very frequently in the past and liked it a lot, however, it couldn't keep the pace of other lighter free IDEs focused on productivity and performance.
It integrates seemlessly with Oracle Java tools and frameworks. For instance, it is very straightforward to create projects using ADF and manage data residing in an Oracle Database or Oracle Express, and then deploy to a WebLogic Application Server. It is a complete IDE (syntax highlighting, code navigation & completion, refactoring, etc.) and supports out of the box most Java EE technologies, eg. JSF, EJB, JPA, JTA, JAX-RS and much more. It also has the usual: code versioning, maven integration, debugging and so on.
Unfortunately I dislike several things. Since Oracle has shifted its attention away from Java, this product has shown almost no evolution in the last four years (the product simply stalled at version 12.2). They have been doing just bug fixes. There were some rumours about Oracle launching a revamped JDeveloper 19c in the last quarter of 2019 but that certainly didn't happen. JDeveloper's full installer...

It is a fundamental part of my work
I really like working in this IDE for several reasons, the first one is that no matter what i nedd to get my development working it's there: versioning support, maven support for dependencied, tool to connect to databases and even execute sql querys, ability to code in java from the same tool, modeling bpm process, implementing web services, bpel process and everything you need to a big variety of plugins available for downloading
It comes to be really slow when you are implementing business process, because it takes a really big amount of RAM memory

JDE is a great software to use. Easy to use and pretty straight forward. It could use some improvements such as interface friendly.
It’s pretty easy to use, easy to create personalized reports and queries. Helps integrate systems across different plants.
Sometimes it lags. And one thing that bothers me is when you’re signed in and the page is reserved for you, and you exit out instead of logging off. It keeps you signed in until you restart. I feel like there should be an easy fix for that.

It's one of the free software available to the user. Apart from IDE, Web application includes drag and drop functionality and very interactive editor to work with. It helps the user to work on end to end development solutions. It interacts with Oracle Service Bus (OSB) which communicate to the down stream systems.
One of the major con,I would say is speed of the application, it hangs up and closes the application,crashing the application

1. J Developer close integration makes it a great way to work with Oracle databases. 2.User friendly software.
1. sometimes it takes a while to open up or when shutting down. 2. User interface can be improvised.

rapids for software deployments
* its wizards to generate repetitive code, it's great, since I love the reuse of the code * has good integration with weblogic, for projects that use it highly recommended * Unify the development of DDBB with that of the application. *What I like most about this software is how fast it starts, it has a very friendly interface for the development
the only thing I could say against is the weight of the client, for users with very slow internet, it becomes complicated to download it

Good product
It is a good product that provides many features that help in the development of applications and also provide versatility in the development of services.
On the contrary, I consider that the application requires a lot of resources at the memory level when web services are being developed.

Has very good UML editor adaptable for many operating systems, has very good management in terms of developments in database relationship.
it becomes somewhat slow to have a slightly complex development of high code, is a bit heavy compared to other simple editors.

jdeveloper is easy for bpm flow designer, the tools are standart and support bpm 2.0 , i like that for make xslt is very simple wiht drag and drop and very functions for transform of data. Is perfect that be can integrate java embed , this option in bpel is very powerfull
the ultimate versión (12.2.1.3 )is very good because have few bugs, however the early versión have more bugs and sometime be lost part the work because sometime don't references update when be updater xsd or other element. The process for add support for ERP cloud adapter in early version is very complicated and dont correctly funtion

You can work all the phases of the development of the project in an integrated but at the same time separate way. It is free you do not have to pay license until now. I can design class diagrams with UML tools. The generation of code. With the assistant, the work becomes easier. Good inteface
You need at least 3 GB of RAM to run fast. The computer needs hardware compatible with the program if you do not have it, the software becomes very heavy

Makes application development much easier, and I believe will get much better in the future.
I usually don't like a drag and drop environment, but I love it with JDeveloper because you can create something really fast, then tweak code when needed. Also I love the integration with Virtualbox as I am a longtime Virtualbox fanboy.
Can be exceptionally slow at times, and has a tendency to crash at the worst possible times. I have not doubt Oracle with fix this eventually but for now this is annoying.

Once upon a time, JDeveloper was my go-to Java IDE, but over time I find myself increasingly drawn to more up-to-date tools such as Eclipse and IntelliJ.
JDeveloper is a straight forward tool with little in the way of clutter. It's reasonably easy to pick up and use and fills its respective niche.
JDeveloper lacks much in the way of extended functionality and modern design, such that is available from more modern tools such as Eclipse and IntelliJ.

It is one of the first development environments in which I have learned to program.
Easy to use and install, one of its advantages is that it can be used in various operating systems such as Linux, Windows and Mac. It has a UML diagram editor and a semiautomatic code generator which helps a lot while you are programming and allows the database management.
It requires having a good computer because it uses too many resources, which slows down the machine, which can be very tedious because it takes a lot of time.

Great Java Development environment.
It's easy management features and facilitated integration with GitHub and the Oracle database.
Very lagging at some points probably since it is developed on top of the Java JVM. The code autocompletion features are much better in Netbeans and Eclipse.

One of the best things I like about Oracle JDeveloper is its free of charge. You can even integrate your work with related software like the Oracle Middleware, among others. I also love its debugging capabilities, ensuring that the program that I am developing is stable and ready to use.
There are times that errors pop up of the screen while working, resulting the user to restart its work all over again. It is also very confusing for beginners like me to navigate the web logic environment, and would take time to fully execute its adhoc testing and debugging capabilities.

By making softwares from this software and selling to the customers, we are getting business benefits.
JDeveloper helps you to develop applications in JAVA, JavaScript, PHP etc. It also offers drag and drop functionality. As it oracle based application so it integrates with oracle application development framework (ADF) which is very helpful in developing applications. The one who is already a oracle user will definitely like it to develop applications.
As it is bit difficult to understand so one who is new to this needs some training and guidance. It requires good hardware configuration to run smoothly.

Easy to install and create projects for various scripting languages. Strong support from the huge worldwide owner company.
It is pretty hard to integrate with thirdparty services. Having too many features makes user to be confuses while choosing optimal way to develop.
