Creating a shortcut to JDeveloper
We are now going to create a shortcut to the JDeveloper executable and put it on our desktop. For the purposes of the book, it is assumed that we are developing using a Windows operating system and therefore, we will create a shortcut to jdevw.exe
, as this is the executable we use on Windows. On other operating systems, we would use the jdev.exe
executable.
How to do it...
To create a shortcut to JDeveloper, perform the following:
Navigate to the directory,
C:\oaf\jdevbin\jdev\bin
.Right-click on the
jdevw.exe
and select Send To | Desktop (create shortcut).Rename the shortcut on the desktop if desired, for example,
Jdev R12
.
How it works...
We have now created a shortcut to the Windows version of JDeveloper on our desktops. If you are using a Linux-based operating system, you will need to launch the jdev.exe
instead.
