SQL*Developer 1.1 is available.

It looks cool. It even has schema diff and export DDL. What is more, on some operating systems, it is available as an RPM package, which is excellent. I didn't have to use force to install it, despite the fact that I don't have JDK 1.5 installed:

$ rpm -qa|grep jdk

jdk-1.6.0-fcs
$

SQL*Developer is not just looking cool, it also starts much faster then the predecessor. Way to go Oracle, unlike the useless crap called grid control, this is actually nice. If someone wants to read my opinion about the new agent and OMS, it's on comp.databases.oracle.server. I cannot post it on this group as the administrator doesn't tolerate Oracle*Expletives.
