'Enter Binds' popup screen when loading Java source in database

Question

Hello,
when loading a Java source in the database with the command:
create or replace and compile java source named ...
a popup window comes up whichs prompts for bind variables this and null. In version 3.1.05 of SQL Developer this window does not pop up, with version 3.1.07 it does.
Is this a known bug?
Best regards,
Joop

Hello Gary,
I have made this test program:
create or replace and compile java source named "nl.cb.plsqlParser.attributeValue.TestloadOra" as
package nl.cb.plsqlParser.attributeValue;
public class TestloadOra {
     String b;
     * @return the b
     public String getB() {
          return b;
public void dumpAttribute() {
System.out.println("Parse run ID: " + (this.getB() == null ?
"null" : this.getB()));
This comes up with a screen with title 'Enter Binds', this is a different screen as you mentioned 'Enter Substitution variable'. In the 'Enter binds' screen there is a prompt for 'this'.
Can you explain how to load Java with a menu option? From the File navigator there is no Load Java menu option.
Best regards,
Joop
