Configuring Maven
JDeveloper is a useful Java IDE that enables a Java Developer to work on Oracle applications.
The plugin is available from:
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/jdeveloper/
Download the latest plugin in the default directory for your Maven plugins.

The only tricky part that is not explained that well is setting of the two mandatory properties in build.properties. build.properties files is in your home directory and should contain plugin settins as descibed in:
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/jdeveloper/properties.html.
Mine settings are:
maven.jdeveloper.relative.path=../../../../../../..
maven.jdeveloper.maven.home=/home/igor/.maven
...
You can check if JDeveloper sees the new dependencies in Applications tab, by expanding 'library' icons. The jar files should reveal full content. If you do not see jar files structure check .jpr file for proper library URLs. For example, with targetID
'oracle' and artifactId 'ojdbc', the jdeveloper plugin assumed defined that ojdbc14.jar file is in the .maven/repository/ojdbc/jars, contrary to the
definition of targetId as being the directory in repository.
