Accelerated Java EE Development: The Oracle Way Dana Singleterry Principal Product Manager – Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF http://blogs.oracle.com/dana Warning – demo contains small fonts – you might want to sit closer

How Can We Accelerate Java EE Development?

• Better Development Tools – Visual and declarative – Tools that provide “the .NET experience” for Java – Example : Oracle JDeveloper, Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse • EJB Modeling, Declarative JPA, Visual JSF, etc…

• Better Development Framework – Connect all the pieces – Abstract complexities of underlying technology – Example : Oracle ADF

Visual and Declarative Development

• Visual tool = UML – UML has its place for design/documentation stage – Visual design eliminate code and image synchronization

• Sometime a picture is worth a 1000 words (or code lines) • Some developers are more productive with visual tools • UI design is much easier with visual tools • Declarative – “code generators”, properties, declarative editors
