I am not a TopLink expert. So I would recommend that you'll ask your
toplink/hibernate question on the TopLink forum here:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?forum=48
As far as integration of TopLink - I meant intgeration with the IDE.
(But toplink is also integrated with the appserver). Basically when
you use toplink you get a visual environment where you do your mapping
of Java object to database object. This is now available as part of
Oracle JDeveloper.
See this online demo:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/viewlets/10g/TLmapEditorXP_viewlet_swf.html
You don't have to use a middle tier for toplink, it can work with
simple Java objects and doesn't require you to use EJBs (although EJB
deployment is one of its options).

> Also, does the code-editor support folding/collapsing methods/classes?
Not yet but this is high on our priority list for the next version.
> Also, is (are) there Oracle newsgroup(s)? I find the forums too slow.
The best place to discuss Oracle is on the OTN discussion forums.
The JDeveloper forum is here:
