Is JDeveloper the continuation of Developer 2000?

[Victor Hernandez]

Hello everybody.

I am a J2EE programmer. I know JDeveloper. But a customer of mine has
a large software written in Oracle Developer/2000 and wants this
software to be updated to the "current version of Developer 2000". (By
the way, I don't know anything about Developer 2000).

I need to know what is the current version of Developer 2000. I have
been looking for Developer 2000 in the Oracle website but I haven't
found it at the Product page. It seems to me that Oracle is dropping
Developer 2000 to make Java its main programming language. But I have
found nothing that confirms that.

Please, can you explain me what is the politics of Oracle about
Developer 2000? Is a "live" language or is it about to be discontinued
or deprecated? Which is its "current" version? What relationship has
with Java (JDeveloper)?

Thank you for your help,

Vicent Palasi

Note: I am not an employee of Oracle, and the above is not an Oracle
sanctioned list. It is built up from personal use experience. I have
tried to make it as accurate as I can, but memory being what it is ....
and some of these things go back to 1987.

Developer 2000 -- aka Developer 9i is based on PL/SQL and some very old
technology, but has been rewritten in Java and allows Java extensions. It's
a usable but clunky tool, and appears to have serious problems with the
Report Builder (problems that 6i did not have). It is allegedly a 'live'
product but is somewhat of an orphan. Of course, Oracle's tools strategy has
been in a bit of disarray for about 5-6 years or more.

JDeveloper was bought from Borland and is a totally different product than
'Developer'

Hans did a good job of listing the product 'heritage'

This is what I wanted to know.

Thank you both.
