Adding Weblogic 12c Runtime in OEPE (Eclipse)

When I tried to add an Oracle WebLogic Server 12c as a new server runtime to a project in OEPE (Eclipse), OEPE refused to recognize the information I entered. Fortunately, Daniel G. told me that I have to select the wlserver folder first, then backspace a few times to remove wlserver from the path and type in the wlserver back to trigger the screen to fresh. The goal is to change the path using different ways to trigger a refresh action, which doesn’t get triggered when it supposed to. Once I was able to trigger the fresh action on wlserver folder, OEPE was able to recognize the server runtime installed in the folder.

This definitely worth a bug on OEPE!

Sun merger details

If you look at the filing, you will see latest public information about the merger:

• Credit Suisse conducted a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and concluded “Sun’s common stock of (i) $8.12 to $10.10 on a sum-of-the-parts basis (comprised of implied reference range values per share of Sun’s common stock of $4.80 to $6.43 for Sun’s software business and $1.64 to $2.00 for Sun’s hardware business, plus $1.67 for Sun’s net cash), and (ii) $8.06 to $9.41 on a consolidated basis, as compared to the merger consideration in the proposed merger of $9.50 per share of company common stock.” This analysis is based on “discount rates ranging from 10.50% to 13.00% based on Sun’s estimated weighted average cost of capital.”
• “On March 12, 2009, Oracle sent a letter to [Sun's] board proposing the acquisition by Oracle of certain of [Sun] software assets, a minority equity investment by Oracle in our common stock and entering into certain strategic relationships.” This shows that Oracle’s initial offer focused only on “certain of [Sun's] software assets”.
• If you look down the list, you will notice a table showing top executives’ severance package.
  • Jonathan Schwartz: $12,005,607
  • Scott McNealy: $9,534,022
• The filing also includes a table of major stock holders.
  • Scott G. McNealy currently holds 14,566,433 common shares. At $9.5 a share, he will receive $138,381,113.5 excluding the severance package, before taxes.
  • Jonathan I. Schwartz currently holds 536,109 common shares and he will receive $5,093,035.5 excluding the severance package, before taxes.
