My Personal Bug Parade of JDev 12.1.2 fixed in JDev 12.1.3

Last week (June, 26th 2014) JDev 12.1.3 arrived, today (June, 30th 2014) the ADF Mobile Extension for 12.1.3 was published. You can get it via the menu Help->”Check for Updates…”
However, the first thing I did over the weekend was to check my personal bug parade.
In the list below you see the bugs and there status
UPDATE (July, 18th 2014): Added ADFEMG-118

Bug	Status	Info
ADFEMG-118 af:poll with interval set to 5000 and timeout set to 5001 doesn’t stop polling after on roundtrip	OPEN	The behavior has changed but still not as expected. You still get refresh events after the timeout.
ADFEMG-120 JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.0: can’t create af:tree or af:treetable on a jspx page	OK
ADFEMG-149 JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0: Completion Insight doesn’t show javadoc for ADF classes	OK	without the ADF source code, which you can get filing a SR with support.oracle.com (payed support contract needed), you only see a notice that ‘No ducumentation is available’ instead the api java doc.
ADFEMG-150 JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0: Missing documentation for usage of ‘File Templates’	OK
ADFEMG-154 JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0: Completion Insight ‘ctrl-space’ doesn’t do a ‘Declaration Insert’	OK
ADFEMG-156 AttributeValues assigned to variables iterator loose their assigned iterator after clicking on other attribute values in the same pageDef	OK	There are some hints that this bug is somehow not fixed for all circumstances. However, my test case works out OK. Whenever someone has a reproducible test case I reopen the bug. Please drop a note then.
ADFEMG-157 JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0: Filter on af:table doesn’t show up if VO is only based on a SQL query	OK
ADFEMG-159 JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0: ViewCriteria editor behavior differs from 11g and generated SQL from VC is suboptimal	OK

ADFEMG-189 JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0: af:inputFile with multiple files to upload duplicates files	OPEN

Good work! Only one bug didn’t make it into the first 12.1.3 release!

Working through all the test cases was kind of fun. My impression of the product is that it’s stable and easy to use. OK, I had no time playing around with the new features. This will be my task in the next weeks. Stay tuned for more on JDeveloper 12.1.3.

JDeveloper 12.1.3 is out!

Oracle JDeveloper 12cR1 aka JDeveloper 12.1.3 finally arrived. We had to wait almost a year for this version.
From my first day working with it I can say that it was time well spent. Some nasty bugs from version 12.1.2 are fixed, others still need checking. This will take me a couple of days.
I spare you listing all new features which you can find at ‘What’s new’.

You can download the version from the JDev home page.

Interestingly there are only three install packages, one for Windows, one for Linux and the generic installer. The platform specific install packages are only for 64 bit systems. A look into the certification matrix shows that 32 bit systems are only listed under ‘Other Operating Systems’. I’m not sure if this means that you can’t run this version on 32 bit Windows, or if 32 bit Windows is just ‘others’. I don’t have a 32 bit OS available, do I can’t test this. However, to install on a 32 bit system you have to download the generic installer (size 1.8GB).

The installation went smooth, under 1 minute on my 64GB i7 server with a big SSD running Ubuntu 14.04!
Be advised that some things in the configuration have changed. Stuff you are used to change in Jdev.conf (like jdk) has been moved to a new file product.conf which is stored at your home/.JDeveloper folder. This makes it easier to change the configuration like setting the ide.user.dir and some memory options. More information on this can be found in the ‘Installation Guide’.

It’s going to be a busy weekend checking out all the new stuff. Have fun using Jdev 12.1.3!
