Updating JDeveloper for SOA Jdeveloper Extension

SOA design time in JDeveloper requires a JDeveloper extension called Oracle SOA Composite Editor (11.1.1.2.0). While this is normally updated over the network when using release-level software, you can also perform the update manually if you have the extension file.

We will update it manually using the locally downloaded Oracle SOA Composite Editor (11.1.1.2.0)

JDeveloper periodically prompts you to accept an automatic network update. Since this is released software, you have the option to click on OK to update to a newer version. The SOA extension is about 230 MB and may take some time.

Please follow these steps

1. Start JDeveloper Studio 11.1.1.1.0 from the Windows Programs menu: Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.1.0 or run C:\Oracle\Middleware\ jdev_11gR1\jdeveloper\jdeveloper.exe.
2. Select Default Role, deselect Show this dialog every time, and click on OK.
3. Click on No to "Migrate from previous release".
4. If you are prompted to select file extensions to associate with JDeveloper, deselect everything or select the ones you would like for your machine and continue.

Now you can update the SOA Composite Editor extension. These instructions show you how to update the extension over the network.

1. Select Help | Check For Updates; click on Next.
2. Select Search Update Centers and select Oracle Fusion Middleware Products.
3. Click on Next. The system will search the update center for extensions.
   
4. From the list of extensions, select Oracle SOA Composite Editor and click on Next to begin downloading. The extension is about 230 MB and takes a few minutes to download.
   
5. When the extension has finished downloading, it is listed with the version number detail.
   
6. Click on Finish.

The above sequence assumes that the installation of the extension is done via a PC Connected to Internet.

The SOA JDeveloper Extension can also be installed locally at Step (3)
