How to transition/migrate from Jdeveloper w ADF to an alternative/elegant IDE (Eclipse)

Question

I am trying to migrate to eclipse, Intellij etc... away from Jdeveloper! I need to use most of the existing framework like ADF, Weblogic, Oracle DB. Which makes it a shame I am trying to escape from JDEV

I have managed to run some ADF items on a java ADF project set up in eclipse, but it is far to cumbersome. I am essentially just rewriting the code, and I've failed to actually migrate the far larger project/ any of the individual screens.

Can anyone give me a more detailed or effective method to migrate a larger project in Jdeveloper using the above technologies into one of these IDEs?

Note: My end goal is to escape from the incredibly slow deployments, and constant freezing of Jdeveloper. I would happily accept methods for speeding up Jdeveloper as well, though that only postpones the future grave that JDev seems to offer it's clients.

How to import a Jdeveloper java project in eclipse?

Answer 1

A new version of JDeveloper and ADF have been released.

• Blog with a quick demo - https://blogs.oracle.com/jdeveloperpm/oracle-jdeveloper-and-oracle-adf-12214-now-available
• More new features - https://www.oracle.com/technologies/developer-tools/jdeveloper/12214nf.html
• List of fixed bugs - https://www.oracle.com/technologies/developer-tools/jdeveloper/12214rn.html

In the list of the fixed bugs it says

JDEVELOPER 12.2.1.3.0 IS VERY SLOW

Maybe the new version fixes the issue.
I haven't tried myself, yet.

I don't think that it's possible to migrate any larger ADF project to Eclipse. The OEPE package isn't maintained anymore (to my knowledge). It's not 100% (maybe 70%) function compatible to JDev. Even if you migrate small pages/aps you have to do much work by hand to make it run.

You did not tell us the exact JDev and JDK version you are using. This makes it impossible to point you to some helpful blogs, articles or threads to hopefully fix your problems.
