While going through the Preferences window i noticed that the preferences for Oracle’s version control system are gone. The two left are Clearcase and CVS. I have no problems with this, as i’m only using CVS at the moment, but i hope sometime in the future Oracle will add support for Subversion, as more and more opensource projects are starting to use that instead of CVS.

The preferences window now also contains a section called XDoclet Configuration, which allows you to, among others, enable and disable XDoclet support for EJBs, Hibernate, Spring and Web (Struts).

For hand coding java Eclipse used to be a lot more productive than Jdeveloper, thanks to it’s extensive support for refactoring and quick fixes. Jdeveloper now has better support for both. So if you start throwing exceptions which haven’t been declared in the method header, jdeveloper will offer to automatically add the exception to the method header, or it can automatically surround the throw statement with try and catch. Nice.
