Where to get this Java.exe file for a SQL Developer installation

Question

I just installed Oracle 11g, and tried to start Oracle SQL developer so as to start writing queries.

It is asking me:

Enter the full pathname for the jav         


        

Answer 1

If you are asked to enter the full pathname for the JDK, click Browse and find it. For example, on a Windows system the path might have a name similar to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51.

Answer 2

you should browse to where java installed, then go to bin directory which contains the java.exe file.

example - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe

but you should run your SQL Developer as Administrator

Answer 3

Please provide full path >

In mines case it was E:\app\ankitmittal01\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\jdk\bin\java.exe

Answer 4

You have to give the path to jdk ...typically C:\Program Files\Java.. Still if it is asking you for the path then Check this http://www.shellperson.net/oracle-sql-developer-enter-the-full-pathname-for-java-exe/

Answer 5

Hhere is what what I did to fix it:

Prerequisite

• Make sure JDK is installed (Not JRE).
• Make sure Oracle is installed

After

1. Open the file ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldevloper.conf and add the following line to set jdk path:

   SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Oracle\11g\product\11.1.0\client_1\jdk

   If it dont allow you to save the file, copy whole sqldeveloper folder to a different location where you have write access to modify this file.

2. Run sqldeveloper.exe (from the new place if you moved the folder out from oracle folders) as administrator and enter the jdk path that comes with your oracle installation: e.g. C:\Program Files\Oracle\11g\product\11.1.0\client_1\jdk\bin

Answer 6

I found my java.exe that worked for SQL Developer at C:\ORACLE11G\product\11.2.0\client_1\jdk\bin where C:\ORACLE11G is my Oracle Home. The client that I have installed is 11.2.0.

Hope this helps.
