Oracle JDeveloper
Appearance
Oracle JDeveloper is an integrated development environment for Java, XML and Oracle database systems and technologies.
History
Originally based on technology licensed from Borland (Borland JBuilder) but has grown immensely since then and by now dwarfs the original Borland system with compressed downloads being as big as 2 gigabytes.
Version
Note that the company provides the system in two different versions, the Studio Edition that includes support for Java SE, XML, J2EE, ADF, UML and database development feature and a much smaller and faster version called Java Edition that only supports Java SE and XML development, you are in most cases better off with the Java Edition.
