I need laconic explanation of what Oracle SOA Suite 12c is and what are its technical core functionalities. Oracle's web page just uses a lot of buzzwords and states it can be used for integration with cloud, mobile dives and IoT.
Why should I choose Oracle SOA Suite over Oracle WebLogic and Apache Camel, or other integration framework?

I won't go into a long-winded reply, but I think the more technical bits and reasons for using it can be found on Oracle's documentation site, specifically Oracle SOA Suite. Most of the stuff under "Understanding Oracle SOA Suite" probably provide more than enough information to give you an idea. It's not going to be a short read, however.
Additionally, you'll see the "Books" section on the left shows a list of all the documentation tied to or associated with SOA Suite, and this one in particular might give you a good idea where SOA Suite fits, what they built it to do (and for whom they built it for):

We try to introduce this product into the existing online store, working with Java EE.
We understand, that this question is so global and we want to decide two tasks:
Install and setting software;
Create simple example for comprehension of this technology work's.
We already used:
1. Oracle official documentation. It observes information about the possibilities and features of the product, without installation and configuration;
      2. Reading specialized forums. It didn't give absolutely no answers for our questions;
      3. view video on Youtube (Oracle official Channel). It gives us performance of business analysts work's and the main problem is not decidied.
We interesting for any information.
Thank you!
Surprised to hear that Oracle documentation didn't help in using Endeca (now known as "Guided Search").
Google for below documentation with appropriate Endeca version (say "11.1").
You can also find reference implementations available with the software like "Platform Services" and "Tools And Frameworks".

When migrating Oracle Forms and Reports, there are several options for that :
ADF
APEX
Yor suggestion ...
Which one do you think is the best in terms of business continuity and also ease of technological transition? Do you have experience in such migrations?
At the end, I would like to know if it would be necessary to migrate or just keep "Oracle Forms/Reports"
Regardless of what tool vendors might say, this is going to be an exercise in rewriting your application.
So the real questions is, why do you want to do this? Oracle are continuing to support Forms for some time yet. There are plenty of things we can do to modernize our Forms applications whilst retaining our investment in the existing software. I urge you to look at Mia Urman's presentation Give Your Forms a Facelift: Tips and Tricks for Forms UI Modernization which she gave at a UKOUG event I helped organise a couple of years ago.
If your mind is absolutely set on a re-write you'll find APEX is the easiest path for developers with a Forms/ PL/SQL background.
Update for 2018:
Oracle have been getting back behind Forms. The 12c release had over 100 new features. Okay, some are quite minor but it's a clear statement of intent. Find out more.
It's a big "it depends". ADF is a comparable alternative, while APEX is easier to learn and find resources to build.
The developer tools statement of direction is a great place to start and a while ago I provided my own commentary (http://www.grassroots-oracle.com/2012/03/on-oracles-statement-of-direction-for.html)
i think you should also check oracle JHeadStart , as mentioned in the documentation :
JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator; creates ADF Business Components and a
JHeadstart Application Definition file based on Oracle Forms files
Hope that Helps .

What are the advantages / disadvantages of the various Unit Testing frameworks for Oracle PL/SQL? For example:
utPLSQL
PL/Unit
Pluto
SqlDeveloper Unit Testing
any other options?
This type of question hasn't been asked in a long time so I'm looking for info that is up-to-date as of 2013.
The issue with first three is that they are not being supported by the community anymore.
If I would have to choose I would go with Steven's Feuerstein utPLSQL. His approach is always good.
Pluto - object oriented PL/SQL makes it hard to use. Guy that has written it is pretty smart but somehow the community was not interested and the project died.
Bottom line is: using files to create test cases makes it hard to maintain and share.
Oracle SQL Developer is the best what you can get for free. Easy to use interface plus the most important thing: repository. You can share your work with others and with other projects. Easy in configuration. Test cases can be create on the fly.
There is one more thing. Guys from the Oak table described Oracle SQL Developer unit testing in "Expert PL/SQL Practices". Even if it is sponsored they wouldn't describe it if it was absolute disaster.
My personal opinion.

Oracle as our new ERP solution [closed]

Our company just decided on Oracle as our new ERP solution. As the current in-house Developer of our WMS/ERP system (VB6/C#/ SQL/VFP) What skills, references, things to learn, words of wisdom you recommend to get a head of the curve for this supplementation.
By "Oracle is our new ERP system" do you mean you are migrating your custom code to an Oracle-database based system?
If that's the case, Oracle Database concepts guide is probably the first thing that you should get started with. There is obviously a big learning curve to this and it will take time, but as someone who understands the existing system, you are definitely at an advantage.
If you mean you are moving to a vendor based (oracle being the vendor) ERP system, there are many systems out there that Oracle has released into the market and each of them with a different technology framework and underlying components. Eg..If you are moving on to Oracle Apps 11i modules or E-Biz, Java and Oracle Database would be the underlying components that you need to concentrate on first. If the ERP system is the new Fusion Applications suite, Oracle's ADF Framework is the place to begin.
By the way, any specific reason why they have such a HUGE shift in the technology stack?

Has anyone used Oracle Coherence? It looks very promising at the roadshows.
My concern is whether it's a stable and robust enough to implement mission-critical financial solutions.
I'd be grateful for any feedback on its performance, robustness and ease of maintenance.
I've had first hand experience with Oracle Coherence at two big investment banks and can say it's definitely stable. However, as with any complex piece of software it's not without it's quirks.
EDIT: Doh, just realised the question is over a year old. Oh well...
Coherence is in production at hundreds of companies. Many of the companies are large financial institutions and large consumer websites. For example, hotwire.com uses Coherence.
As with any technology, Coherence has the capability to meet your needs for performance and robustness. If you understand the technology and implement it correctly, then yes.
I've been using it for a few months now. So far, it's doing fine in production. We haven't gotten to the maintenance part yet.
Oracle Coherence is a mature product, but you need to make sure that you have the latest patches from Oracle. The point releases that are downloadable from the Oracle website have many bugs that are fixed in the patch releases.
As for development and maintenance, the learning curve is a little steeper than the documentation would suggest. I recommend the Oracle training course (or Alek Seovic's book).
