You have the error “SQL Developer requires a minimum of Java 8.” while you are running on another java version for other applications?
Make sure you have JDK8 unzipped somewhere on your Mac.
Go to your SqlDeveloper application in your application folder, then
Show Package Contents
The to folder MacOS under Contents.
Open sqldeveloper.sh file and replace
export JAVA_HOME=$TMP_PATH
with
export JAVA_HOME=”/Users/<youlocationtojavafolder>/Java/jdk1.8.0_121.jdk/Contents/Home”
Done!
Thank you for the quick fix. Just a side note. Java 10 is not supported. As of now 9.1 is the latest supported version.
@Hazhir Thanks for the heads up. I was able to install Java SE Development Kit 8u181 and was able to get it to work without the above work around.
@Bryan You have only jdk8 installed, the above work around is when you have two version of JDK running on your environment.
