Oracle SQL Developer Problem initializing Welcome Page

Question

I installed the Oracle Sql developer but I am not getting the startup page. A JavaFx error is encountered.

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

I know this is a Linux thread, but I had the same issue on windows.

bmaupin pointed to the right correction.

My setup is that I use OpenJDK and have that set as JAVA_PATH. But if you download the correct version of Oracle SQL Developer, it brings its own Java SDK. All that needs to be done, is point to it.

1. Search for: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper\19.4.0\product.conf
2. Edit that file: Change the path to the JDK coming with SQL Developer:

_

# SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\OpenJDK8
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\jdk

Done.
