FlexDeploy - Oracle JDeveloper Plugin Guide

The Oracle JDeveloper plugin executes deployment profiles using the ojdeploy command to compile/ build Application or Project artifacts. For example, you can build

  • EAR or WAR files for deployment to an Application Server
  • ADF Library JAR files for use with JDeveloper applications as dependencies.
  • MAR files for ADF customizations.

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.
