SQL Developer 21.2.1 crashes on opening on macOS (Montenery) version 12

user1985769

I did the update on the iMac (BigSur to Montenery) yesterday. Now SQL Developer 21.2.1 (Version 21.2.1.204.1703) crashed whenever I opened it. I am using Java 8 (and tried with Java 11), but it didn't help. Could anybody help me out?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Sharat

Thank you, Jeff, for replying.

Yes, it was not the entire crash report. BTW, the report was the Apple's crashed report, and I copied and pasted part of it there.

I have found a workaround solution for now. Installed Java 17, and made the SQL developer configuration to point to its home location. This works for now though it might not be the ideal solution.

Would you mind sharing how you make SQL Developer point to its home location?

thatJeffSmith-Oracle

edit product conf in your $HOME/.sqldeveloper directory

Hi all

It works for me with Java 17, thx 👍🏻🙏🏻

/Users/olivier/.sqldeveloper/21.2.1/product.conf

uncomment the # line and set the path to jdk-17.0.1.jdk

SetJavaHome /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home

I have the same problem with macOS Monterey.

Here is my setup and error stack:

macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)

SQL Developer 21.2.1.204

Error stack is in the file attached.

SQLDeveloper_error.txt

Edit: Problem is solved. Running happily SQL Developer for the past hour.

I updated the JDK version to 17, using Arm 64 DMG Installer (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java17).

Did you read the log you attached? It shows that Java is crashing. And at the very top it says it's Java 8, not Java 17.

You probably need to update your product.conf file to point to the new java 17 home.

I read it Jeff. I also pointed out that the problem is solved. I did exactly what you suggested.

I just left the error file in case you'd need it for something. Thanks for the help.

Maybe it's a good idea to be added that this version of Java is needed for that OS in the Installation Notes on the SQL Developer Download page.
