Introduction
You can easily tell when a tool has matured to being a productive environment. Software developers move from playing and learning features, to supporting production systems and discussing best practices and development methodologies to ensure the success of their next project.
The ADF Enterprise Methodology Group is an effort by "experts"in ADF (that's anyone that knows whatsuchADFastandsplace for ;-) to discuss highcommunityleveldiscussionsADFbasedissuesaroundbeyondJDeveloperthosebestdiscussedpracticesonandthemethodologiesOTNforJDevADFForums.EnterpriseThedevelopment.goalOntoaproducedayOraclebyWikidaypagesbasescapturingADFdiscussions,"experts"thoughts(that'samdanyoneexperiencesthatinknows what needs to be done for a successful ADF project.

While we'll happily discuss other parts of JDeveloper such as SOA and Webcenter,makethey really require a forum of their own because of their size and complexity, so we encourage to start anothercentralgroup. It is okay to leave alocationlist of TO-DOs, unanswered questions and highlight areas that are incomplete in the methodology to be answered in the future. The methodology should consider all roles involved in softwareefforts,development, including developers, DBAs, application serverdiscussions,administrators,whitepapers,managersfiles and users.Can I participate?Certainly.
