Understandably, some existing customers have been a little flustered by delays in getting out the JDeveloper 9.0.4 maintenance release. The JDeveloper IDE has tight integration for embedded running and debugging of J2EE applications using the Oracle9iAS J2EE container, OC4J. The JDeveloper 9.0.4 release (due to be part of the upcoming 9.0.4 complete version of Oracle Internet Developer Suite) upgraded to the companion OC4J 9.0.4 release to stay in synch with fixes and enhancements made in that release of our J2EE container. Trouble is, that's taken longer to get to production that we'd hoped. In the meantime we've produced the 9.0.3.2 maintenance release.
Given the time it's taken to get 9.0.4 out, we've obviously seen an increase in the number of backport requests from customers asking for certain 9.0.4 BC4J bug fixes to be included in the upcoming 9.0.3.3 maintenance release. We on the BC4J team decided to methodically backport all BC4J 9.0.4 related fixes into our 9.0.3.3 maintenance release. This means that regardless of when the 9.0.4 release of the IDE will finally be ready to put in customer's hands, the upcoming 9.0.3.3 maintenance release of BC4J will deliver a goodly number of fixes that many of our customers are waiting on, independently of the 9.0.4 IDE release vehicle.
