First Step on JDeveloper 11g TP4

Oracle has launched the Technology Preview 4 of the JDeveloper 11g IDE suite.

This version requires JDK 1.5.0 and only guaranteed to work on JDK 1.5.0. It supports and encourage developer to use Servlet 2.5 API, the latest specification of Java Servlet.

I downloaded the JDeveloper 11g Technical Preview 4 from here, and see what's we have in this latest preview version. Click "Accept" if you agree with the terms and conditions.

I will be using the "Base Install" version, which ship without the JDK.

Download and unzip the files to folder of your choice. Mine is [d:\opt\env\jdevstudiobase1111].

Execute the file [jdeveloper.exe].

Select the "Default Role" here. Click "OK" button.

I was using the JDK 1.5.0_13 but the system still prompted me this (it's a tech preview anyway - this 'feature' is not guaranteed to be available on the release version). Just click on the "Yes" button.

I just want to associate JDeveloper Workspace and JDeveloper Project with this tool.

Click "OK" button.

Here it goes, the Oracle JDeveloper 11g Technology Preview 4!
