ADF 12cR2 (12.2.1) with lots of new features available - as part of Fusion Middleware 12.2.1 release, including WebLogic, SOA, WebCenter and Forms/Reports

Just before Open World 2015 & JavaOne open its doors for Oracles annual conference in San Francisco the long awaited ADF / WebLogic 12.2.1 has been released as part of Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.

The most interesting Updates to JDeveloper & ADF & WebLogic in terms of platform are

• It runs on JDK 1.8. JDeveloper supports 1.8 features
• Full Java EE 7 Support
• Integration with Java Cloud Service (not only SaaS Extention and Developer Cloud Service, git etc)
• Better Maven integration

On the feature list of ADF 12.2.1 there are mainly these cool things available

• REST Service DataControl + REST from ApplicationModules
• Responsive Layout features (af:matchMediaBehavior) and new Responsive Template (Masonry layout)
• Remote Regions - Consume Taskflows remotely
• Improved Data Visualization components

I am really looking forward to try out the many new features.
