How to change settings for SQL Developer to correctly recognize current version of SDK












9















I've installed Oracle 11g r2 to my machine and when I opened Oracle SQL Developer it says: java 1.6.0_02 is not supported and telling me to install new java version.



Then I've installed JDK 1.6.0_27 and set the path in environment variables and run Oracle SQL Developer again, but the same error occurred.



How can I change the settings for Oracle SQL Developer to recognize 1.6.0_27 as my SDK?

sqldeveloper.conf under sqldeveloper/bin in the SQLDeveloper base directory has an entry for the java home being used.



(So, on Windows, if you have unzipped SQLDeveloper to C:sqldev then sqldeveloper.conf is under C:sqldevsqldeveloperbin)



Something like:



SetJavaHome C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_20


Quit SQLDeveloper, remove this entry and relaunch SQLDeveloper. You should be prompted for the location of Java.

    Go to sqldevelopersqldeveloperbin and edit sqldeveloper.conf file.



    There you'll see



    SetJavaHome C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_21


    Change it to correct jdk path

    Yes, Oracle just made a dumb installation package to makes us waste our time...good job guys!!!



    The thing is, there should be a wizard/installer to configure the java path, this is because the jdk that comes pre-configured just doesn't work. Personally, I had to edit to the sqldeveloper.conf
    under sqldeveloperbin just has Nivas said and change the pre-configured path "SetJavaHome ../../jdk" to "SetJavaHome C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_73" - for earlier versions of sqldeveloper it's a requirement to have Java8 and be sure that if you install SQLDeveloper x64 version that the java version that you set in your path is also x64.

      This workaround helped many people (including me) during the last 12 months, so you must try it if you still have the problem:




      • Go to sqldeveloperjdkjrebin folder and locate "msvcr100.dll"

      • Copy this dll to C:WindowsSystem32 folder


      Obs: you will need to provide administrator authorization to finish the file copy, so you must be logged on as a true windows administrator.



      After copying the file, just try to start the sqldeveloper again. No reboot needed.



      Hope this helps you too!

        In windows 10, I needed to go to following folder and change following product.conf file and set SetJavaHome directive.



        %APPDATA%sqldeveloper<product-version>product.conf


        in my machine:



        C:Usersati_oAppDataRoamingsqldeveloper17.4.0product.conf


        with following line.



        SetJavaHome C:Toolsoraclejdk8


        Thanks to comment from @thatjeffsmith, in MacOS or Linux/Unix, go to:



        $HOME/.sqldeveloper/<product-version>/product.conf


        to set same SetJavaHome directive.

          This is the correct answer for any version of SQL Developer 4 and higher. On a mac or *NIX, go to the .sqldeveloper folder in your $HOME dir to find the product.conf file

        One solution is to install the latest Oracle SQL Developer. Link @ SQL Developer Downloads . This installation will install and use the latest Java version 1.8.x.



        The sqldeveloper.conf file resides at a newer location at ...sqldevelopersqldeveloperbin .

          In order to change the version of SDK linked to your SQL developer, uninstall the other versions of SDK and install the required version. Once you install the required version, try running SQL developer it will automatically prompt you to attach the path. ANd you can provide the new path.

                    if you have sql developer running close it before saving this file? If sql developer is not running restart your computer, edit this file and only then try starting sql developer

                    @Lak1357 Old comment, but for future reference: Might also mean your editor needs admin/other rights to write to the file.

                    Yes, Oracle just made a dumb installation package to makes us waste our time...good job guys!!!



                    The thing is, there should be a wizard/installer to configure the java path, this is because the jdk that comes pre-configured just doesn't work. Personally, I had to edit to the sqldeveloper.conf
                    under sqldeveloperbin just has Nivas said and change the pre-configured path "SetJavaHome ../../jdk" to "SetJavaHome C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_73" - for earlier versions of sqldeveloper it's a requirement to have Java8 and be sure that if you install SQLDeveloper x64 version that the java version that you set in your path is also x64.

                            This workaround helped many people (including me) during the last 12 months, so you must try it if you still have the problem:




                            • Go to sqldeveloperjdkjrebin folder and locate "msvcr100.dll"

                            • Copy this dll to C:WindowsSystem32 folder


                            Obs: you will need to provide administrator authorization to finish the file copy, so you must be logged on as a true windows administrator.



                            After copying the file, just try to start the sqldeveloper again. No reboot needed.



                            Hope this helps you too!
