How To: Install Multiple JDevelopers on One Machine

Having multiple JDevelopers

How To Make the Most of your computer

As a Developer we are often required to work with multiple JDeveloper versions at any one time.

Installing them may be tricky if you are doing it for the first time.

You can do this by creating a new MiddleWare home

I will be demonstrating some of the things I do when I am installing a new JDev Version.

I will be working with JDeveloper 11g (11.1.2.4.0)

Step 1:

Step 2:

As you can see I have two other versions, 11.1.1.6 and 11.1.1.7

I create a new Middleware home 11124 (11.1.2.4)

That is the trickiest step in the process.

Step 3:

Using the typical Install.

Step 4:

If the Installer did not find a Java Version, If you have Java, you will need to find the Home:

Mine was :

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

Otherwise you can get it from here:

                http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

Step 5:

Notice the Path:

Middleware11124

Step 6:

Step 7: 

The Install and completion.

Congratulations you are done!
