Get Started with a Development Project using Developer Cloud

Before You Begin

This tutorial shows you how to create a project using a template in Oracle Developer Cloud Service. This tutorial takes approximately five minutes to complete.

Background

Oracle Developer Cloud Service is a cloud-based software development Platform as a Service (PaaS) and a hosted environment for your application development infrastructure. It provides an open source standards-based solution to develop, collaborate, and deploy applications within Oracle Cloud.

An Oracle Developer Cloud Service project is a collection of Git repositories, branch merge requests, wikis, issues, deployment configurations, and builds. While creating a project, you can choose a template project to copy its artifacts such as Git repositories, job configurations, and wiki pages to the new project.

What Do You Need?

• A web browser
  To know about supported web browsers, see Web Browser Requirements.
• An Oracle Cloud account with an active Oracle Developer Cloud Service subscription
• Your Oracle Cloud account credentials

Open Oracle Developer Cloud Service Console

You can log on to Oracle Developer Cloud Service from the Oracle Cloud Dashboard page.

1. In a web browser, go to https://cloud.oracle.com/home, and click Sign In.
2. From the Cloud Account drop-down menu, select your data center, and click My Services.
3. Enter your identity domain, and click Go.
4. Enter your cloud account credentials and click Sign In.
5. On Dashboard page, in the developerid tile, click Action Menu and select Open Service Console.

   

   If Oracle Developer Cloud Service is not listed on the dashboard, click Customize Dashboard.

   

   Under Platform, find developerid, select Show, and then close the Customize Dashboard window.

   

Create a Project

You can create a project from the Oracle Developer Cloud Service Console, also called the Welcome page.

1. On the Welcome page, click + New Project.

   

2. On the Project Details page of the New Project wizard, enter the following values, and click Next.
   • Name: EmployeesApp
   • Description: A simple standalone Java SE application using a Developer Cloud Service project template. After the project is created, you can build and later deploy it to Oracle Application Container Cloud Service.

   

3. On the Template page, select ACCS Java SE Sample with Deployment, and then click Next.

   

4. On the Project Properties page, click Finish.

   

5. Wait for provisioning to complete.

   

   After provisioning completes, the project is ready to use. The Project page opens by default.

   

   The Git repository, build job configuration, and Wiki page from the template project are copied to the new project.
6. In the navigation bar, click Code. The Code page displays the application source files and directories of the Git repository.

   

7. Browse and click the directory name or the file name link to view its contents.
8. In the navigation bar, click Build. The Build page shows the copied build job.

   

9. Click the job name link to view its details.
10. In the navigation bar, click Wiki. The Wiki page shows the wiki page copied from the template project.

    

11. Click the wiki name link to view its contents. The wiki page has instructions describing how to build the application and deploy it.
