Understanding JDeveloper
Oracle's JDeveloper provides an integrated development environment for creating JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business services. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne package includes a JDeveloper extension. The extension package contains JD Edwards EnterpriseOne code features that help you create business services. Among these code features are wizards that generate a structure for creating a Java class. Wizards for generating code to call a business function or a data base operation are included in the extension package. The extension package also provides code templates specifically designed to help you develop and test business services. The wizards and code templates help you by enforcing coding conventions so that your business service classes can be exposed as web services.
For JDeveloper 12c, the extension package and plugins are loaded into JDeveloper when you use a feature provided by the extension. For loading EnterpriseOne development extensions, select the option Initialize E1 Workspace under the Tools menu after launching JDeveloper from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Object Management Workbench (OMW).
For JDeveloper to successfully be installed to your development client, you should verify that your system meets the Minimum Technical Requirements (MTRs) for the hardware and software that is required to install JDeveloper. See document 745831.1 (JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Minimum Technical Requirements Reference) on My Oracle Support:

If you use non-English characters or data in your business services, you can configure JDeveloper to support UTF-8.
