NOTICE:
sqldeveloper-package for Debian and derivatives has moved to GitHub Pages.
This page will no longer be maintained and only kept for historical reasons. Please update your links and/or favorite accordingly.
This utility makes it possible to build a Debian package of Oracle SQL Developer. The Oracle SQL Developer program is governed by the copyright holder (Oracle USA, Inc.), so you may be limited as to what you can do with the resulting package (i.e. no redistribution, etc). This utility will simply help you create the Debian package, it is your responsibility to use the resulting package acordingly with the OTN license, a copy of which is included in the created package, that you must agree on when downloading the source.
This utility will require you to download the architecture independent archive from <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer>, identified as "Oracle SQL Developer for other platforms", "Oracle SQL Developer for Multiple Platforms" or "Oracle SQL Developer for Linux and Unix" (depending on which version you are building), to create the Debian package from.
The Debian Package sqldeveloper-package
In order to run Oracle SQL Developer you'll need a full working JDK. The versions that are compatible with SQL Developer are any JDK 1.5.0_06 or above or JDK 1.6.0_03 or above for SQL Developer versions up to 1.5.5. SQL Developer versions from 2.1 to 3.1 are compatible with JDK 1.6.0_11 or above and SQL Developer version 3.2 is compatible with JDK 1.6.0_04 or above.
Note that Oracle SQL Developer is not compatible with JDK 1.7 (JDK7.0).
There are several ways to obtain a compatible JDK:
After installing a compatible JDK simply launch SQL Developer through the graphical interface or by invoking /usr/bin/sqldeveloper and supply the path where the JDK was installed when prompted.
- install default-jdk (java), making sure it depends on a version 6 JDK
- install openjdk-6-jdk (java)
- install the meta-package java-sdk, making sure that it installs a version 6 JDK as dependency
- install the meta-package java6-sdk, making sure that it installs a version 6 JDK as dependency
- download and run the installer for the version you wish to install from Oracle <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/>
- install java-package (contrib/misc) and generate a Debian package from the above installer
