JVM option is invalid error

Question

I downloaded sqldeveloper on my linux desktop and tried to launch it as recommended in the documentation. I'm getting the following error:
jvdernet@jvdernet-2:/usr/local/bin> sqldeveloper
Oracle SQL Developer
Copyright (c) 2006, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.
The JVM option is invalid: -XX:JavaPriority10_To_OSPriority=10
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Usage: java.bin [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java.bin [-jar] [-options] jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-cp -classpath <directories and zip/jar files separated by :>
set search path for application classes and resources
-D<name>=<value>
set a system property
-verbose[:class|gc|jni]
enable verbose output
-version print product version
-showversion print product version and continue
-? -help print this help message
-X print help on non-standard options
-assert print help on assert options
What can I do to fix this?
thanks

Answer 1

I set my env variables but it's still not working. One thing I noticed is the download for jdk 1.5 for linux doesn't look like the version I have on my windows machine. I just have a single file
jvdernet@jvdernet-2:/usr/local/bin> ls jdk*
jdk-1_5_0_13-nb-5_5_1-linux-ml.bin
On windows it's a directory C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.50_05\...
thanks,
