In my work I use JDeveloper to develop Java, SOA and BPM applications to achieve implementations

Reviewed 6 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Great development environment, which integrates the basic and advanced J2EE development

Reviewed 6 years ago

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

is more practical when debugging and integrating with the weblogic console, fabulous

Reviewed 6 years ago

develop OSB web services for companies, easier to develop, less time and more benefits

Pros

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

Cons

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.

this software is a great suite for application development with ORACLE products, buttttt you pay

Reviewed 6 years ago

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

Pros

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

Cons

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

A fit in the Oracle ecosystem for Java

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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...

Fully Integrated Tool

Reviewed 7 years ago

It is a fundamental part of my work

Pros

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

Cons

It comes to be really slow when you are implementing business process, because it takes a really big amount of RAM memory

JDE

Reviewed 5 years ago

JDE is a great software to use. Easy to use and pretty straight forward. It could use some improvements such as interface friendly.

Pros

It’s pretty easy to use, easy to create personalized reports and queries. Helps integrate systems across different plants.

Cons

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.

User Interface Review

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

One of the major con,I would say is speed of the application, it hangs up and closes the application,crashing the application

rapids for software deployments

Pros

* 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

Cons

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

Pros

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

Cons

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

One of my favorite IDE's

Reviewed 7 years ago

Makes application development much easier, and I believe will get much better in the future.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Simple Java development

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

One of the best integrated development environments

Reviewed 6 years ago

It is one of the first development environments in which I have learned to program.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

My Review for Oracle JDeveloper

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Good software to develop web and desktop applications.

Reviewed 5 years ago

By making softwares from this software and selling to the customers, we are getting business benefits.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
