Check the hardware requirements for that software. The other factor is how heavy your software development is. Java IDEs (and I believe the same for Oracle Forms) take up a good chunk of memory and processor. Other normal software on your system e.g. browsers also take a lion's share of your system's resources, and it's likely that such software will be running the same time as your development tools. Besides the processor speed, the L1, L2, ... cache size of the processor is important, the Atom has 512KB-1MB which is rather small. This issue might come up in a memory intensive application. Anyway if you're workin on normal applications then this may not be an issue. A Core Duo or Core 2 Duo or similar AMD processors might be better for middle to long term development.
