Oracle recommends that Forms, Reports and Designer customers follow a similar path that it took
with its own E-Business Suite of applications:
Move to the Internet, Upgrade to the latest versions of Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, and Oracle Designer; and Interoperate and coexist these applications with new J2EE applications using Oracle’s Application Server.
The news for dedicated designer shops might be even worse. The executive summary here is no new features or enhancements of existing features - presumably JDeveloper or a competitors offering should be looked at carefully for designer shops.
Oracle Designer will not introduce new features or enhancements but will continue to be fully
supported and part of Oracle Developer Suite future releases.
