How I got SQL Developer working on a new MacBook Pro (MacOS Monterey - M1 Pro)

I documented the steps that I took to get SQL Developer working on my new MacOS Monterey MacBook Pro M1. I hope that it's useful to some of you. All of what I did came from various posts here in this forum.

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
: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 Salvisberg .
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
