SQLDev 4.2: Missing Snippets Menu Entry - solution

ApexBineMay 4 2017 — edited May 4 2017

Hi,

I was one of the many who missed the View > Snippets entry in the menu.

Clear Cache (in Tools > Features) did not help, and did not want to throw away all my settings as suggested in another thread.

What helped in my case was editing the file:

D:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.2.0.17.089.1709\ide-extension-prefs.xml

I had to add the following line which I found in an older version:

      <string v="oracle.sqldeveloper.snippet"/>

to the xml:

<ide:extension-preferences xmlns:ide="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ide/hash">

   <list n="featuresToReloadAtStartup">

      <string v="oracle.sqldeveloper.filenavigator"/>

     <string v="oracle.sqldeveloper.snippet"/>

      <string v="oracle.sqldeveloper.dbanavigator"/>

      ...

   </list>

</ide:extension-preferences>

Hope this helps,

Sabine
