Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Toolkit for Eclipse

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Toolkit for Eclipse is a plugin that enables Java developers to easily connect to Oracle Autonomous Database through their IDE. The plugin is free and is available for Linux, UNIX, Microsoft Windows, and Apple Mac OS.

You can use the plugin to perform cloud and database operations right from Eclipse, such as creating Autonomous Databases, stopping and starting, scaling up and down, and so on. You can also use the plugin to easily connect to the databases to browse the schema, access tables, execute SQL statements, and perform other development tasks.

Users with permissions to manage the databases can perform a number of actions, including those listed below. For detailed information about permissions, see Toolkit for Eclipse in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation. You can:
