Oracle Jet is targeted at developers working with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3 on client-side applications. This plugin makes use of the Oracle JET command line tool to build your web application and then deploying that application to a targeted location.

Supported Versions

Supports both Windows and Unix Operating Systems.

Key Features

Optional arguments to build a development version of your web application:

- Themes: Specify the theme to use for the application. The theme defaults to alta:web, but you can specify a hybrid mobile theme (alta:android, alta:ios, alta:windows) if you want your application to have the look and feel of a mobile application.
