Text and Word Processing / Java Components & Java Libraries (Java Class Libraries) / Oracle / SUN (Oracle Tools & Oracle Components)

Java components are Java libraries or Java Class libraries, JavaBeans or EJBs that allow you to reuse your own Java code or Java code written by someone else within your Java program or Java application. These Java libraries will include specific functionality that you can integrate into your Java project, perhaps allowing you to support a new feature that a user has requested you to add, such as transferring a file by FTP or HTTP or providing some sort of eCommerce capability to your Web site, such as authorizing a credit card. By reusing your own Java code you save time and improve the modular design and quality of your software. By reusing code written by someone else, you not only save time and effort, you also get to add their knowledge or expertise to your application, enabling you to support new functions and features inside your app that were not possible before.

JavaBeans or Java Beans are reusable software components for Java that can be included in your Java app to provide visual interaction for the user with the form or screen, they typically give your Java application user interface (UI) controls, such as buttons, data entry boxes, text editors or they can be used to present datatables using a Java datagrid bean and draw charts or graphs.

There are also other forms of Java component listed here, such as EJB components or Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), these Enterprise JavaBeans are server-side non-visual Java components that can be bolted together in a modular manner to provide business logic and other functions in your J2EE environment. For example, we have sophisticated EJBs for adding complex financial calculations or statistical probability functions to your applications.

The Java Class Library products are the most numerous and include Java Classes that are: Java datagrids, Java spreadsheets, Java Math & Stats libraries, Java charting libraries and Java graphing classes, Java calendar or Java Gantt class products for planning and scheduling, Java speech recognition classes, text editing, word processing and spell checking Java classes and much, much more.

Finally you will also find Java Applet and Java Servlet commercial products in this Java product gallery. These Java Applets allow you to present data charts, graphs, barcodes and the Java Servlets provide text & HTML editing, spell checking, file handling, data conversion and PDF file creation functionality.

In this Oracle software product gallery you will find products that are compatible with: Oracle software platforms and frameworks, Oracle databases, Oracle application servers and Oracle Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Oracle Corporation (ORCL) acquired SUN Microsystems, completing the deal on Jan 27, 2010, plus Oracle had previously acquired BEA Systems completing that deal on Apr 29, 2008. So in this Oracle marketplace, you will also find products that are compatible with SUN Microsystems (JAVA) software products and databases, as well as products that work with BEA Systems (BEAS) software products and BEA application servers.

So you will find: Oracle tools, Oracle utilities, Oracle addins and Oracle db admin tools to help with day to day Oracle database management tasks and common Oracle DBA activities. For Oracle developers you will also find Oracle components, Oracle extensions, Oracle plugins and Oracle developments tools to help make your more productive when writing your next Oracle software project. There are also Oracle components that are available as products to use in your next Oracle app, these Oracle libraries are usually made available as an Oracle Java Class or as an Oracle JavaBean.

The Oracle dev tools can be: searched for on our Web site, evaluated using the Oracle downloads that we have for each product, compared with other Oracle utility or Oracle dev tool products, before you make any purchasing decision. You can also read what your fellow Oracle developers thought about the Oracle tool they downloaded by reading our Oracle reviews. You can also buy, download and license these Oracle tools and Oracle components directly from our Web site.

Finally, we have several Oracle News feeds for each type of Oracle product from the Oracle product range, these News feeds are published as Oracle News pages and also available as Oracle RSS data feeds, so that you can keep up to date with new third party products releases that are compatible with the Oracle software product range.
