Brian Duff breaks the news

Brian Duff breaks the news that Oracle Jdeveloper 9.0.5 is now going to be know as Oracle Jdeveloper 10G. It’s been his task to search-and-replace all instances of 9.0.5 with 10G in the Jdeveloper code base, but in his spare time he’s put together an article on the top ten toys for Java programmers in Jdeveloper 10G.

It’s great that people like Brian are putting together features like this, and I know that personally I’m more inclined to use, and persevere with, products such as Jdeveloper when the developers behind it make an effort to engage with their users. Oracle are holding Expert testing sessions for Jdeveloper down at Reading at the moment, and because of our contact with people like Brian, and because of how central Jdeveloper is to our development process, we’ve taken one of our best consultants out for a few days to take part in the session, hopefully giving feedback to the development team and getting more of an insight into the context of the product.
