"Great help for a software developer"
What do you like best about Oracle JDeveloper?

It's a fully effective IDE for enhancing Java and industrial programs, including BPM and SOA. At the ADF level, it's a complicated but very intuitive framework as it manages the layout through layout and draggable components. As far as SOA offers within the new edition of 12-C, there is no need to implement an IDE like Eclipse, since the connections created there can now be made within JDeveloper without any delay. The database adapter is very useful and easy to use. Suitable for most J2EE initiatives and especially Oracle-related products like ADF, WCP and JSF Framework, etc. We can also develop/install SOA initiatives and the state-of-the-art model helps improve OSB. The good thing is that we can connect to the target servers and install them without any delay from within JDeveloper, which is very beneficial for the developers.

What do you dislike about Oracle JDeveloper?

quite heavy that slows execution in sturdy programs. Requires a pc with appropriate resources. It`s pretty hard to combine with third-party services. Too many capabilities confuse the person to select the most suitable improvement path. the high learning curve to use its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ORACLE SQL AND WHOLE WHOLE ONLINE EXPERIENCE OF JAVA,HTML ,XML"

The thing which i liked the most is its availability, that it is free to use and surf. There are a lot of platforms that require a subscription, but it is free; hence there are more number of users on this platform.

It has a vivid presentation style and a good interface for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle JDeveloper?

It isn't easy to make an application on this platform as, in my opinion, it requires a lot of guidance and instructions, which make it challenging for beginners.

Sometimes it may freeze while using WYSIWYG editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
