We are very happy to announce the release of Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF 12c

This is a major new version for our tool and framework and contains a lot of new and enhanced features.

And while some of the features that were developed for 12c were backported into recent 11.1.2.4 and 11.1.1.7 releases - you'll still find a lot of new things in the 12c release. 

Here are some highlights:

Core IDE:

• Support for JDK7 and Java EE 6 along with WebLogic 12c (and support for GlassFish too).
• New Look and Feel and various usability enhancements.
• Based on the OSGi infrastructure introduced in the 11.1.2.0 release this version adds even further integration with NetBeans code including new windowing system, profilers and the Matisse Swing editor.
• New Dependency viewer shows you how various files are related visually.
• New HTML 5 and CSS code editors.
• Support for Git version management
• Enhanced support for Maven - including integration of Maven with ADF apps.

New in Oracle ADF 12c:

• New ADF Faces components
• Layout - SpringBoard, PanelDrawer and PanelGridLayout
• Collections - List, and pagination table 
• DVT - Sunburst, Treemap, timeline
• Other - Code editor, multi-file upload, unified link and button components
• New default skin (skyros) - simpler and faster, along with an improved skin editor
• Improved REST support - including new REST data control wizard

And there are many other new features all across the map.
