Absolutely not.

When the choices for developing a rich interface are:

o write it by hand in java
o have it done for you in a 4gl

Many people will still opt for having most of it done for them in a 4gl. Forms and reports are very good at what they do, they fill a niche (a rather large niche) in a way no other tools or languages do.

Pay attention to JDeveloper !

Jdeveloper supports SQLJ as well as JDBC. SQLJ is SQL embedded in Java and pre-processed to become JDBC using SQLJ translator. SQLJ ofers mainly "cleaner" code and static type checking. And it's definately a very good tool !

Hi Tom,
I'm checking new Oracle ADF, and is really nice on JDeveloper. I'm starting to learn it.

This is very similar to forms.
You really did a good job. Congratulations

I would like to do three question to you please, maybe you could answer, maybe you don't.

1. SQL Developer was done on ADF?
2. To run ADF, do you need Oracle applications?
3. Based on what I read, this is going to improve a lot. But I'll like to as you, Are you (Oracle) thinking to invest a lot in improving it, or only will improve when you have time and nothing more important to do.
For example, Oracle had "discontinued" Oracle Developer, because you don't really see important improvement.
But looking a jdeveloper, adf is really THE IMPROVEMENT.

1.a
Maybe a comment or a a few important details about improvement in jdeveloper :)

Thank you Tom

1) best asked on the sql developer forum, where the developers of sql developer hang out :) otn.oracle.com -> discussion forums

2) I'm probably the worst person to ask ADF related questions about. No, you don't need Oracle applications - it is a licensed option of JDeveloper. otn.oracle.com again, jdeveloper forum
