SQL Developer 1.5: Logging Page - oracle.dbtools.db.DBUtil - ORA-12705

Question

I just downloaded SQL Developer 1.5.
When I try logging into any database, the Logging Page shows:
Source: oracle.dbtools.db.DBUtil
Message: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
I've tried setting the NLS preferences to the default ... no dice/
SQL Developer 1.2 works fine.

Hi Helder,
I think you're on the right track but when I made the changes you described
    Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> NLS parameters
    "Decimal Separator" from . to '.'
    "Group Separator"   from , to ','
    "Currency"          from $ to '$'I found that, while the error messages did indeed stop, my numbers started being formatted incorrectly.
select to_char( 12345.23, '99G999D99' ) from dual
TO_CHAR(12345.23,'99G999D99')
12.345'23   Note how the single quote appears as a decimal separator and a period appears as the group separator.
Your idea did however lead me to the following workaround which eliminates the ora-12705 error and sets the decimal and group separators properly.
    Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> NLS parameters
    "Decimal Separator" from . to .,
    "Group Separator"   from , to      (i.e. leave the field blank)The currency separator can stay at its original value, a single $ character. After making these changes the query above returns this.
select to_char( 12345.23, '99G999D99' ) from dual
TO_CHAR(12345.23,'99G999D99')
12,345.23                    --
