Oracle eclipses enterprises

September 3, 2008 —  Just before the long Labor Day weekend, Oracle released its Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, an integrated IDE tool set for users of WebLogic Server and Oracle Fusion Middleware.

The Oracle Enterprise Pack includes many of the integrations and timesavers Oracle and BEA developed over the years for interacting with Java application servers directly from the IDE. These—for the first time since Ganymede's release—are bundled in a form compatible with Oracle WebLogic Server 10g Release 3.

A major new feature supported by this more recent version of the WebLogic Server is FastSwap. Originally inserted into WebLogic when BEA still numbered it version 10.3, FastSwap allows Java classes to be redefined without redeployment. When a class is modified, this change-aware class loader can take on the new class without changing the state of the application as it continues to run.

The Enterprise Pack for Eclipse includes many of the advances created by BEA and currently offered in what is now known as Oracle Workshop for WebLogic Server. The Enterprise Pack, however, is a separate set of plug-ins and modifications that can be installed on top of an existing user's copy of Eclipse. It includes plug-ins and helpers for dealing with WebLogic servers, databases and other Java EE applications from development through deployment.

The Enterprise Pack for Eclipse can be downloaded for free at oracle.com/tools/enterprise-eclipse-pack.html.
