I use GraalVM's JDK 11 on my MBP with macOS 12.0.1. The JDK is available only for Intel. However, it works well with rosetta2. This way I can use all features of SQLDev. And the JS based features are significantly faster. For that I set the following in my /Users/phs/.sqldeveloper/21.2.1/product.conf :
/Users/phs/.sqldeveloper/21.2.1/product.conf
SetJavaHome /Users/phs/Applications/graalvm-ce-java11-21.2.0/Contents/Home
You find the current JDK here: https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-builds/releases?q=21.2.0&expanded=true
Very interesting. Thanks @philipp-salvisberg1 . As you suggest, I've just tried GraalVM's JDK 11 and it seems to work well for me - even the JavaFX parts. The Welcome Page now works too :) I'll update my blog post to include this alternative. Note: I had to remove the quarantine attribute with the following command: sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.2.0
