How to install Enterprise Manager to JDeveloper integrated Weblogic domain

Question

I have installed JDeveloper 11g and as you know it also installs an embedded Weblogic and creates a Weblogic domain. This domain by default has the console application but does not have the em application. How can I add em to my integrated Weblogic?

Sturla,
I can give you the quick steps for installing EM into the WLS container integrated with JDev:
1). Download from OTN two pieces of software from the Fusion Middleware 11g (use the "For Deployment" software, click "See All"): the Application Development Runtime, and (under Additional Required Software) the Repository Creation Utility (RCU).
2). Unzip the RCU and run bin/rcu.bat or bin/rcu (windows/*nix). Create the MDS repository in an Oracle DB using this utility.
3). Install the application development runtime into the same home you installed JDeveloper.
4). Run the configuration wizard - on Windows its in the start menu / Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.1.0 / Weblogic Server 11gR1 / Tools. Find it yourself on *nix ;)
5). Choose to extend a domain
6). Pick your DefaultDomain directory for the integrated WLS
7). Tick the checkbox to add enterprise manager
8). Supply the database connection information for the DB in which you created the repository in step 2.
Ta-da!
The EM will be accessible via http://hostname:7001/em, username/password=weblogic/weblogic1. I will caution you about generically installing into the integrated domain - it makes your WLS take noticeably longer to start up...
Best,
John
