'''JDeveloper''' is a [[freeware]] [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] supplied by [[Oracle Corporation]]. It offers features for development in [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[XML]], [[SQL]] and [[PL/SQL]], [[HTML]], [[JavaScript]], [[BPEL]] and [[PHP]]. JDeveloper covers the full development lifecycle from design through coding, debugging, optimization and profiling to deploying.

With JDeveloper, Oracle has aimed to simplify application development by focusing on providing a visual and declarative approach to application development in addition to building an advanced coding-environment. Oracle JDeveloper integrates with the [[Oracle Application Development Framework]] ([[Oracle Application Development Framework|Oracle ADF]]) - an end-to-end [[Java EE]]-based [[Software framework|framework]] that further simplifies application development.

The core IDE exposes an [[Application programming interface|API]] that other teams in Oracle use to build extensions to JDeveloper. [[BPEL]], Portal, Business Intelligence and other components of the Oracle platform{{Which|date=April 2010}} all build their design-time tools on top of JDeveloper. To accommodate to [[Sun Microsystems]] (and thus [[NetBeans]]) acquisition versions released after 2012 are sharing significant code with [[NetBeans]] platform. The same IDE platform also serves as the basis of another Oracle product, [[Oracle SQL Developer|SQL Developer]], which Oracle Corporation promotes specifically to PL/SQL and database developers.

==Features==

In 2006, still under the 10g tag, and after significant delays, [[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]] released version 10.1.3 - the latest major 10g release.

In October 2006, Oracle released version 10.1.3.1 that added support for the final [[EJB]] 3.0 spec along with [[BPEL]] and [[Enterprise service bus|ESB]] design time.
 
In January 2007, Oracle released version 10.1.3.2 incorporating [[Oracle WebCenter|WebCenter]] capabilities such as creating and consuming portlets, portlet/JSF bridge, and content-repository data control.

In January 2007 Oracle had more than 150 people working in various roles on the product, including (in no particular order): developers, development managers, [[Quality assurance|QA]] engineers, build engineers, [[Technical writer|doc writer]]s, product managers, [[Evangelism marketing|customer evangelist]]s, and [[Usability engineering|usability engineer]]s. Development centers operated in Redwood Shores, in Bangalore, in Reading (UK), and in Pleasanton, Colorado.<ref>

==Visual and declarative==
The JDeveloper code editor offers a rich set of coding features including visual and non-visual utilities that provide different views of the code. The software provides dialogs that guide the use of Java EE components.

For example, JDeveloper provides a visual [[WYSIWYG]] editor for [[HTML]], [[JavaServer Pages|JSP]], [[JavaServer Faces|JSF]], and [[Swing (Java)|Swing]]. The visual editor allows developers to modify the layout and properties of components visually: the tool re-generates the code. Any changes in the code will be immediately reflected in the visual view. JDeveloper provides a similar feature for generating JSF and Struts page flows.

Declarative features enable programmers to generate EJBs or [[Plain Old Java Objects|POJOs]] based on tables in relational databases. JDeveloper automates the creation of Java EE artifacts. For example, with a click on a visual artifact one can turn a Java class into a web service. JDeveloper generates the associated WSDL (Web Services Descriptive Language) document and related JAX-RPC components.

==License==
JDeveloper is [[freeware|free]] [[proprietary software]] for development and deployment. Oracle ADF has a runtime license when deployed outside of an Oracle Application Server.
