[edit] History

In the early 1990s, Oracle had two complementary, but quite different tools - SQL*Forms and SQL*ReportWriter. Both were character-based and there was some integration between the two although they were sold as separate products. The developer interface became more similar over time and they were eventually grouped together as Oracle IDE (Interactive Development Environment).

The suite was renamed to Oracle Developer and then to Oracle Developer/2000

As with most products that had 2000 in their name, this was dropped after 1999 and the suite was renamed Oracle Developer Suite. Tools such as JDeveloper and Oracle Designer were added over subsequent years.

Most of the component parts of Oracle Developer Suite are now part of what Oracle calls Oracle Fusion Middleware.

[edit] Components

The name of the suite has been renamed a few times. The software components that included in the suite has also changed over time.
