GUI Export/Import Dump feature?

Question

Will SQL Developer ever have a GUI Export/Import wizard. Right now we use the exp/imp DOS commands to acheive this. It would be nice to have a GUI guide you through the process in SQL Developer.
Thanks

Answer 1

Sorry I could not respond earlier. This week has been absolutely CRAZY 4 me.
What I'd like to see (in addition to what Tony just mentioned above) is a Wizard kind of interface that lets me export/import an entire database/schema/table etc. I should be able to select the from and to character set. I should have all the options available in the current command line exp/imp utility (but in a good GUI interface). I'm just pasting all the command line options currently available with exp/imp below. Some of these options can be permanent settings which can be specified somewhere in the preferences. The things that change with each export or import like userid etc.. can be options on the wizard.
In addition to that if you have sql*loader control file also that would make it a great tool indeed!
