You have included all 11g features but there are lot of pieces missing like BPEL manager and JDeveloper. Check http://www.itwisesolutions.com/PsftFusion.html , which really provides great stuff to start with...

Hi Larry,

BPEL Manager is not included into current JDeveloper 11g Update 1 Release. Full Fusion and SOA will come with next JDeveloper release.

JDeveloper is a heart of Oracle Fusion Middleware, so its why its not listed as a feature.

Thanks,
Andrejus
