d) Optional : Oracle Coherence (optional component, recommended for caching functionality) – This comes with default installation of WebLogic Server
e) Optional : Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (used mainly to develop, deploy and debug applications for weblogic server) : If you are using OSB IDE component then OEPE (Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse) is mandatory – This component can also be installed with WebLogic Server
3) For development, WebLogic comes with default database (Derby) which can be used in place of Oracle Database (If you plan to use weblogic’s derby database then oracle database and RCU is not required)
