Important Limitations and Guidelines
Before starting work on any customizations, it is essential that customers be aware of the
following limitations and guidelines:
• Customers who intend to work with Oracle JDeveloper 10g OA Extension, and develop
extensions to their installed OA Framework-based self-service applications must use the
specific build of the Oracle JDeveloper 10g that corresponds to the OA Framework
Release 12 installed in their runtime environment.
Please consult the corresponding "About Oracle E-Business Suite Technology
Update" document for the JDeveloper ARU that corresponds to the Release 12
ATG patchset you install.
