Chapter 4. Using JDeveloper for XML Development
Whether you want to just work with XML and XSL files or you are a hardcore Java or PL/SQL developer, you’ll find that JDeveloper 3.1 has lots of features to make your life easier. A few of the features that I personally use every single day of my life are:
Color-coded syntax highlighting for XML/XSLT editing
Auto-indenting and block indent/unindent to keep XML looking nice
Built-in XML syntax checking
Native support for running XSQL pages
Ability to browse all Oracle8i schema objects, including Java classes
Context-sensitive help as you type for methods and arguments
Fast jumping to source and JavaDoc for any class that pops into your head
Robust remote debugging support for Apache JServ, Tomcat, and others
Robust remote “in-the-database” debugging support for JServer
We’ll cover what you need to know to exploit these JDeveloper 3.1 features in this chapter.
Tip
JDeveloper 3.1 ships with a number of helpful XML samples. These

workspace in the .\samples\xmlsamples
subdirectory of your JDeveloper installation home directory to take a
