SQL Developer for Mac Fails to Launch 2.1.0.63.73

It is disappointing that 2.1 RC1 fails to launch on PPC Macs and particularly aggravating that there is no indication on the download page or in the release notes this was only built for Intel Macs. Or does
"...launcher.sh: line 774: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java: *Bad* *CPU* *type* *in* *executable*
Error: SQL Developer can't recognize the JDK version" mean something else?
Is there any compelling reason that SQL Developer for Mac cannot be compiled as a UB?
Chuck

I just tried to run 2.1 on my PPC running 10.4.11 from sqldeveloper-2.1.0.63.73-macosx.tar.tar on the 2.1 downloads page.
On double-clicking SQLDeveloper.app a bash process starts and uses all the CPU. The icon bounces in the taskbar for about a minute. There's nothing else visible.
info.plist says it is version 1.1!
I was using the previous release, so before I installed I copied the app and ~/.SQLdeveloper so I could restore it if the update failed.
Should I have deleted ~/.SQLdeveloper? I can't see any upgrade notes.
I remember with previous updates there was a way to keep the connections, what was it?
To move the sqlconnections.xml out of .sqldeveloper before installing the new version then move it back?
Later - the console has lots of aqua errors. I guess that means it needs Tiger or SnowLeopard?

  • Quick Question... About SQL Developer for MAC - MAC Users please help.

    Hello everyone, I hope that someone out there can tell me that I am not crazy.
    I have installed SQL Developer for Mac OSX to access a MS-SQL database, and perform simple query operations. For the most part, I have been thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured.
    Details on my current setup:
    SQL Developer
    Version 2.1.1.64
    Build MAIN-64.45
    Mac OSX V10.6.3
    JTDS-1.2.5 JDBC driver
    Database connection is SQL Server 2005
    Anyway, my problem is this... I cannot locate the Query Builder function within this software. I have found the tutorials on how to use it, and it would appear to be located when you right-click the SQL worksheet to open the context menu. This option is not present in my software, and I need to figure out why. This screenshot is what I see when I right-click.
    Does anyone know if this is related to MS-SQL-2005?
    http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1195/screenshot20100523at102.png
    Any assistance you could provide would be AWESOME! Thank you!
    Edited by: user13118614 on May 23, 2010 3:05 PM

    First of all you need an active connection in the worksheet (upper right drop-down).
    But even then it might not work. Sorry you were "thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured", because even if it is, MsSQL isn't. The tool is mainly focussed in providing a migration platform to Oracle, so a lot of the cool stuff is Oracle only.

  • Kindle for Mac fails to launch

    I've been using Kindle for Mac for quite a few weeks now. However very often I have issues launching the software.
    The dock icon bounces a couple of times and suddenly disappears and the software does not launch. I click on the icon again to launch it and after a couple of times (sometimes 10-15 times) it launches successfully.
    Is anyone experiencing this issue? Any tips on how to solve it?
    Thanks, Bruno

    I'm also having this identical problem with Kindle for Mac. I deleted the Kindle plist file (called "com.amazon.Kindle for Mac.plist" in Home>Library>Preferences)as suggested by sig and the app launched again. Thanks!

  • SQL Developer for 64 bit

    Using Win7 64 bit OS in an environment that doesn't allow me to install anything on my machine.
    Trying to use SQL Dev 3.2.2
    Downloaded Windows 32-bit - zip file includes the JDK1.6.0_35 but getting the following error: Can't load AMD 64-bit .dll on a IA 32-bit platform+
    which understandably it's not for 64 bit systems.
    So downloaded the zip for Windows 64-bit. When I run sqldeveloper.exe it asks for "Enter the full pathname for java.exe". For some reason it doesn't like C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin. It gave me the following error when I enter that path: "+*Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin*+."
    Edit: I copied the JDK folder from 32 bit to 64bit and I'm getting the following error now:
    Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine Located at path: ..\..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll*
    Is it now the matter of finding the right JVM.DLL like in Oracle FORMS?
    Or, Is there a way I can download the jdk from somewhere and put in the 64 bit folder and point my java there, like the 32bit zipped version?
    Any suggestions?

    Then you will not be able to use sql developer. It requires specific versions of the JDK. See the Installation Guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35137_01/doc.32/e35119.pdf
    >
    1.2.2 Linux and Mac OS X Systems, and Windows Systems without JDK 1.6.11 or Later
    SQL Developer requires that the Java JDK 1.6.0_11 or later (but not 1.7.n) be installed on the system, or that you install a SQL Developer for Windows kit that includes a JDK. If you need to install a JDK, go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/.

  • Connection to SQL Developer Data Modeler Fails

    All,
    I am using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version 3.0.0.665 in an Oracle 10g database environment. When I try to import DDLs, I get the following error message:
    NoSuchMethodError:
    oracle.i18.ntext.converter.CharacterConverterOGS.getInstance(I)Loracle/i18n/text/converter/CharacterConverter;I use the same connection profile in Oracle SQL Developer version 1.5.0.53, and my connection works fine there, but the same credentials in SQL Developer Data Modeler fails with the above error message. Any thoughts what causes this connection problem?
    Thank you,
    Seyed

    Hi Philip,
    Thank you so much for the information. Your suggested solution resolved my problem. For some reason when I first installed the Data Modeler, it worked fine and I was able to save the result into PDF files. Then my connection went bad and I posted this question on this forum.
    Again thank you very much,
    Seyed

  • SQL Developer: Failure -Test failed: IO Error: Got minus one from a read ca

    SQL Developer: Failure -Test failed: IO Error: Got minus one from a read call
    Hi,
    I am sorry I know this is probably most frequently asked question, but I have no idea what I should be searching for.
    I looked up the error above to see if i could find a solution, but unfortunately I did not.
    Right Let me start of with I am a Total Noob.. well it terms of having to install Oracle 11g myself.
    In my University they hosted a database, and assigned us a User & pass thats how I have been using SQL Developer,
    but since I am not longer a university student. I need to use Oracle Database.
    So I downloaded Oracle 11g Enterprise Installed it on my laptop that i don't use much.
    Name the Database: Rudu
    It did all the installation, and seemed to have succeeded, I went on to the https://localhost:1158/em (Though am not sure why em? whats the deal with that? I thought it would be https://localhost:1158/Rudu) anyways....
    Logged in using the System user.
    Went to Users and created a user called: RUDUHR
    Thought yeah its working... went on to my other laptop opened up SQL Developer.
    Created Connection with the following Settings
    Con Name: RK
    User: RUDUHR
    Pass: TEST
    Con Type: Basic
    Role: Default
    Hostname: 192.168.0.8
    Port: 1158
    SID: Rudu
    It don't work though Why is that??????
    192.168.0.8 is laptop that has oracle 11g installed and running.
    I even tried using SYSTEM user to connect, but same error
    also tried changing SID to em, it made no difference I keep getting the error Status: Failure -Test failed: IO Error: Got minus one from a read call
    So ya am clueless... LOL I only know how to create tables and stuff not how to configure a Database.
    and just so you know I did forward the port on me router to correct laptop.

    It don't work though Why is that??????
    192.168.0.8 is laptop that has oracle 11g installed and running.
    It is because you don't read documentation.
    1158 is the default port for Enterprise Manager
    1521 is the default port for Sqlnet.
    Your port number is incorrect.
    Needless to say, you can create your tables in EM too.
    As per the Forums Etiquette post (first link when you get to this page) it is recommended you read documentation before asking Yet Another Doc Question.

  • SQL Developer with Mac Os X 1.3.9

    Greetings,
    I am running Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.3) on my Powerbook G4 1 GHz with 768 MB ram. After reading the requirements for SQL developer for OS X, I thought I would try to install it. Unfortunately there seems to be a conflict in the requirements for installing SQL developer.
    "Operating System
    Apple Mac OS X Version 10.3
    CPU Type and Speed
    Dual 1.25 GHz G4/G5 (1 GHz G4 minimum)

    The J2SE 1.5 release is currently only available for OS X 10.4 and higher, so apparently you need this os version to run SQL developer. Is this correct? Is there a SQL Developer version that will run on OSX 10.3 that is running the J2SE 1.4.2 release?

    Sorry the subject heading should read:

  • SQL Developer: Failure -Test failed: IO Error: Network Adapter No Conn

    SQL Developer: Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
    Hi,
    and sorry this is a really common questions and yes I did do a search, but I don't understand it.
    First let me just tell you that Oracle 11g is installed on my second laptop on the same Network.
    Secondly I can connect to the Database using Oracle SQL Developer on the laptop Oracle 11g is installed on.
    The problem is I want to connect to the database on my main Laptop.
    I put in the correct details Hostname 192.168.0.8 ( this is the laptop oracle is installed and running on)
    Port 1521
    SID dbarudu
    ****** YES I HAVE PORT FORWARDED
    ****** YES I HAVE ALLOWED 1521 on the FIREWALL
    ****** YES I HAVE EVEN SWITCHED OFF THE FIREWALL
    Now one more thing you should know ... I don't know nothing about Oracle Servers ok.... so I have just installed Oracle 11g Enterprise and thought done it should be working now.
    I just need to use oracle db for a project.
    So keep in mind I am a total noob and terms like TNSPING etc mean absolutely nothing to me.
    So please help, but help with step by step guide on how to get Oracle to let me have access from another computer.

    If the Listener is working, then you should not get the error SQL-Developer error you are reporting.
    The listener typically runs using the hostname and port 1521. This means it opens tcp port 1521 on all IP addresses of that platform.
    The database server by default will register itself with the local listener. Thus the listener will know the database SID, the database services, whether there are dispatchers to support shared server connections and so on.
    The client side needs simply to specify 3 pieces of data to connect:
    - the IP of the database server
    - the tcp port of the listener
    - a database identifier (such as Oracle SID or service name) to connect to
    It is really that simple.
    If this does not work, the problem falls into 2 broad categories:
    a) incorrect installation and configuration of the Oracle software (the out-of-the-box install works unless messed up)
    b) some kind of networking issue
    To troubleshoot any problem means reducing the complexity of the problem, eliminating multiple moving parts and focusing on specific ones, in order to isolate the problem.
    For your problem, this will go something as follows:
    - does the listener run? (check if the service is running and whether tcp connections are accepted on the listener port - telnet can be used for the latter)
    - does the database successfully registers itself with the listener? (check the services command of the listener and relevant db initialisation parameters)
    - does a local TNS (tcp network) connection work on that server? (use SQL*Plus and test on that platform client-server connectivity via tcp to the listener)
    - does the client platform have connectivity with the server platform? (use ICMP and telnet to test)
    - repeat the TNS test on the client platform using the same working TNS tested on the server platform
    Do not use JDBC to test the connection - keep it simple and use sqlplus and the standard Oracle Call Interface (OCI). A full client version of the OCI plus sqlplus can be downloaded under the Oracle InstantClient downloads.
    Finally - if you expect to simply install and use Oracle, then use the correct version. Oracle Express Edition aka Oracle XE. Installs and works out-of-the-box. The only manual config change to make is (as far as I recall) to run the listener on all IP addresses of that platform. And this required editing the listener.ora file, changing the HOST parameter and restarting the listener.
    Also keep in mind that you have not presented an Oracle error code and Oracle error message. But a client application error message. And that message is pretty much meaningless - it does not point to a specific Oracle networking or Oracle server problem. To diagnose that, we expect a TNS or ORA error number.

  • How to start listener in sql developer for remote debug

    how to start listener in sql developer for remote debug ? Since the new version 1.1.0.23 is different with the old version for remote debug, I don't know how to start the listener on the new version for remote debug.
    even follow the user guide below and not work . Experts on sql developer please help me with this.
    Remote Debugging
    To debug a procedure or function for a connection where the database is on a different host than the one on which you are
    running SQL Developer, you can perform remote debugging.
    Remote debugging involves many of the steps as for local debugging; however, do the
    following before you start the remote debugging: Use an Oracle client such as SQL*Plus to issue the debugger connection command. Whatever
    client you use, make sure that the session which issues the debugger connection commands is the same session which executes your PL/SQL
    program containing the breakpoints.
    For example, if the name of the remote system is remote1, use the following SQL*Plus command to open a
    TCP/IP connection to that system and the port for the JDWP session:
    EXEC DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP('remote1', '4000'); The first parameter
    is the IP address or host name of the remote system, and the second parameter is the port number on that remote system on which the debugger
    is listening.
    Right-click the connection for the remote database, select Remote Debug, and complete the information in the Debugger - Attach
    to JPDA dialog box. Then, follow the steps that you would for local debugging (for example, see Debugging a PL/SQL Procedure).
    Debugger - Attach to JPDA This dialog box is displayed when you right-click a database connection name and select Remote Debug.
    Use this
    dialog box if you are using the Sun Microsystem's Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) and you would like the debugger to listen so
    that a debuggee can attach to the debugger.
    For more information about remote debugging, see Remote Debugging.
    Host: Name or IP address of
    the remote host on which SQL Developer should listen for the database to connect.
    Port: Listening port number on the remote host. You can
    choose any valid port number that is not in use by another process.
    Timeout: The number of seconds that SQL Developer will wait for the
    remote database to make a debugging connection. Don't Show Dialog Box Before Connecting: If this option is checked, this dialog box will not
    be displayed before future connections for remote debugging

    You're not the only one:

    Acrobat Pro 9 for mac won't launch, reloaded from disk when hard drive needed to be replace. It's in applications folder but there is an X on the Acrobat Reinstall icon. What should I do.

    Hi Janice,
    What version of Mac OS are you using?
    Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
    Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

  • Oracle SQL Developer for OSX not able to compile/execute/handle packages?

    Hi,
    Have been stuck with this for quite some mins now,
    When I execute this simple -valid- create package statement in Oracle SQL Developer:
    http://www.pastebin.ca/757859
    It shows it's not compiled and has errors, when I check the Packages part in Oracle SQL Developer I see this:
    http://www.pastebin.ca/757860
    The ; after end has been removed by the application. In fact this means I can't do anything with packages in Oracle SQL Developer for OSX?
    Is this a known bug?
    Or am I doing something wrong?
    Any resolving response to this matter would be really appreciated.

    Yeah, that bug is in there since stoneage, and is really a no-brainer to fix. Until they don't, we'd be losing time recompiling.
    FWIW, everything works fine using the procedure editor for creating, editing and compiling.

    where o.object_type in ('FUNCTION','PROCEDURE');
    you have there the created date, last DDL and timestamp

  • Import tnsnams.ora in SQL developer on Mac OS

    Hi, I am moving from PC to Mac and am installing SQL developer on Mac OS. I want to import tnsnames.ora ( that I used in toad ) to SQL developer. I looked it up and everyone seems to say drop tnsnames.ora to /etc, sql developer will pick it up. However I don't have root access to /etc directory.
    What can I do to import tnsnames.ora
    Thanks!

    You can put tnsnames anywhere you like and specify it via the TNS_ADMIN environment variable (though the next problem you will have is ensuring that the SQL Developer process can see that variable). The standard location is in network/admin under your Oracle Client installation. The reference to '/etc' is to do with database servers. You can put your own files in /etc if you want using sudo (it's your Mac), but I'm pretty sure that would not help here.
    However it's news to me that SQL Developer can even use TNS name resolution. I thought it was all JDBC. Are you sure?

    Sorry, we don't support IQ migrations at this time.

  • Double click to open .sql files with sql developer on mac osx

    hi,
    I am trying to double click a .sql file and open it with SQL Developer on Mac OSX lion. I have associated .sql files to SQL Developer. On clicking the file it opens the SQL developer application but does not open the actual .sql file. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Did you find any solution to your problem ? My SQL Developer worked fine and could open additional SQL files. Now it only opens the first one when starting SQL Developer. Additionnal files cannot be opened. Even running sqldeveloper.exe from command line with a SQL file as parameter doesn't help.
    I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the environment may not necessarily be the cause.
