Performing Common JDeveloper Configuration Steps

This section provides a summary of the common configuration steps for beginning an Oracle RightNow adapter project using Oracle JDeveloper. While you can use Oracle JDeveloper to configure an Oracle RightNow adapter and create a BPEL project, you can also configure the adapter for use with other service engines, such as Oracle Service Bus.
