The Oracle ADF Builder plugin is a Docker image capable of building projects and applications through JDeveloper. For example, you can build
You need to install a specific version of JDeveloper with the necessary extensions (available from Help - Check for Updates... menu) on endpoint(s) where this plugin would execute. You can choose a separate Virtual Machine with just JDeveloper installed on it for this build operation. Build operation can be CPU intensive, hence it is recommended to use separate low cost hardware.
You should checkout or export code for entire JDeveloper application from SCM prior to running this operation. Checkout or Export can be easily done if you configure project with Source details.
It is good practice to create FlexDeploy project with name that matches JDeveloper application name.
