Strange Issue with JDeveloper 10.1.3.5 connectivity with JDK 1.5

hi All,

I am using JDeveloper as part of this patch: p17888411_R12_GENERIC

After unzipping, I launch the Jdeveloper from the jdevbin folder. It prompts me for a jvm.dll error so I have explicitly mentioned my JDK1.5 path in the jdev.conf file. This helps to start the application.

Now, when I am trying to create a DB connection, it does not let me proceed to the last part when I click the next button where I can test my connection details.

If in the jdev.conf file, I use the JDK1.8 version then this problem goes away. I am unsure why this would happen.
