I uninstalled oracle-sqldeveloper, and I reinstalled again, but at this time it did not require the path, it use previous one. now, I want to change java path of installed oracle-sqldeveloper, help me

Answer 1

Check you file

sqldeveloper_folder\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf

Inside you can see

SetJavaHome ../../jdk

Point in to whatever jdk you intent to use.

Answer 2

you can check out my post here on how to install Oracle SQL Developer on Ubuntu.

As for your question, u can try to uninstall your sqldeveloper and then delete your $HOME/.sqldeveloper directory and reinstall it, it will ask you for JDK path again
