Answer 1

Are you sure you are using the correct version of JDeveloper? To use BI Beans 10g you need to use JDeveloper 10.1.0.2 as per the documentation:
You must install Oracle JDeveloper 10g 10.1.2.1 build 1913 prior to installing BI Beans 10.1.2.1
From the information you have posted it would appear that you are using a very old version of JDeveloper 9i, which is not supported
Thanks
