Overall i am pretty happy and have been using the software smoothly regardless of the issues.

Pros

The Debugging Features are very productive and since the product is free to use it helps out a lot. Integration with other Oracle Products is also a highlight for developers.

Cons

The product does get laggy at times and uses up a lot of resources.

I gained knowledge of the SOA architecture. This software makes it challenging for new users to configure weblogic and Oracle products, but it works well in commercial settings where large amounts of resources are managed.

Pros

Oracle JDeveloper's free nature is among my favorite features. You can even incorporate your work with other relevant tools, such as the Oracle Middleware.

Cons

Sometimes when an application has multiple projects, opening one of them causes issues. In the graphic view, artifacts are either not visible or are displayed in an inappropriate manner.

It is one of the best IDE for Java and oracle development

Pros

I liked how easy it was connecting my code to Oracle database. The integration with Github is also good. The supports are great if you are the Oracle user.

Cons

I think it consumes lot of resources compared to other IDE and it causes little bit lagging.

Pros

Je recommande fortement l’utilisation de , un excellent programme pour le développement dans l’environnement Oracle. Il propose plusieurs applications de développement, notamment HTML, ADF, BPM, SOA et PL/SQL. Même si j’ai utilisé la version 11g, je n’ai rencontré aucun problème avec le logiciel et j’ai bénéficié d’un excellent support. Si vous êtes un utilisateur Oracle.

Cons

Il peut être difficile de comprendre les avantages offerts par le système, car chaque entreprise a sa propre manière de gérer ses environs à mon avis, et des problème de mise à jour .

Great Java Development environment.

Pros

It's easy management features and facilitated integration with GitHub and the Oracle database.

Cons

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.
