Oracle has released a set of free plug-ins that enables developers to build Java EE and Web Services applications for the Fusion Middleware platform where Eclipse is the preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The company said that Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11g extends support for other Oracle Fusion Middleware components including WebLogic Server administration capabilities, GlassFish Server and Coherence. It supports Eclipse 3.6 and essential Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) tools.
According to Oracle, Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11g allows users to develop on the new Eclipse platform and leverage new Java EE 6 tools including JSF 2.0 tools, that simplify project configuration and support XHTML editing, facelets, and composite component development.
The offering enables Eclipse users to develop, run, and debug against Oracle Coherence, and supports other new Java EE 6 standards like Servlet 3.0, EJB 3.1, and JPA 2.0.
Oracle said that its new free plug-ins provides a graphical editor for JDBC DataSource configuration; offers configuration and data binding wizards for JAXWS annotations editing for regularly used JAXWS properties; and provide full server support for Oracle GlassFish Server.
Ted Farrell, chief architect and senior vice president of tools and middleware at Oracle, said: "The latest release of Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11g continues to provide Java developers with new tooling that can enhance their productivity.
"With support for Eclipse 3.6 and broader support for key Oracle Fusion Middleware components, Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11g R1 enables developers to deliver more value with even greater ease."
