An hour less of sleeping time. Or…another day an hour sooner?

With JDeveloper 10.1.3 I created my first “application”. The only thing it does right now is not printing “Hello World!” in some sort of language specific way, but…setting up a connection to the Oracle database on my server. It switches the “disconnect” menuitem on, and the “connect” menuitem off, so you can disconnect. When you do, the original state of the menuitems is restored.
When choosing Exit, Disconnect is called whenever a connection is still open.
Also, a successful connection will update the statusbar with the name of the DBMS producer (Oracle in this case).
I’ve learned:
– How to work with the IDE
– Java is case-sensitive
– The IDE helps you very much, which results in higher productivity. Especially the hints in the margin (lightbulbs) are quite usefull.
– Help is very good, but a bit on the slow side (reads from the internet)
– The number of components on the palette (as compared to Delphi) is very low
