You don’t have to do this step, but if you don’t, you’ll be running SQL Developer out of the downloads folder. Then drag it to your Applications in Finder. java -version (you can tell how OLD this post is, you should be using something like Java 8 update 250, not update 25 in 2021!) Download and ‘Install’ the latest SQL Developer To see if it ‘worked,’ run Java from a shell prompt. If you need more help, here’s the docs around installing Java on a Mac. Once you’ve downloaded Java, it’s pretty simple to run the install. Oracle products requiring Java don’t require licensing to use an Oracle JDK. If you’re worried about licensing and want to use an OpenJDK instead – that’s not supported, and it’s not necessary.

I hate saying ‘Java …JDK’ as the J stands for Java, but until then I guess that’s how I’ll keep saying it.

Or you can ask your machine to tell you what the current Java Home is… /usr/libexec/java_home …which asks Java to tell you what version it is. So the first thing I like to see is if my machine already has Java. Either the JDK was removed and replaced with a JRE, or maybe you ended up with Java 9 or 10 on your machine, which won’t work at all with SQL Developer.

It usually boils down to SQL Developer not being able to find and use the proper JDK. This usually happens as folks get new hardware or as updates are applied to their machines…something quits working. I have ran into a few issues getting SQL Developer version X.Y.Z on my Mac Mini, and I’ve seen a few questions online today now that Big Sur is available.

Javax.xml was deprecated in Java 9, and removed in Java 11.Updated Decem– after some reports from folks having issues on Big Sur, I added some additional details around troubleshooting. I was using 1.16 and I had problems with it.Īdd the javax.xml dependencies if you use it. You may upgrade your Lombok version to 1.18.8. In my personal experience, I had some compilation problems with my repositories as I had to return Optional in some methods, which is good as I make my application more Null Point Safe by using the isPresent method. Migrating Spring Boot causes some extra work which I can write in another article.

So, in my dependencyManagement I came up with: spring-boot-dependencies 2.1.5.RELEASEĪnd spring-cloud-dependencies Greenwich.RELEASE As I use Spring Cloud as well, I had to upgrade it to a compatible spring cloud version: the Greenwich version (Greenwhich.RELEASE). Java 11 is not supported in Spring Boot 2.0.X and older versions, so I had to upgrade my Spring Boot to 2.1.5.RELEASE.
