Hi,
I have been using SQL Developer for years. Recently my Windows 7 laptop crashed and I was given a new Windows 7 boot drive.
So I reinstalled Oracle 11.2 client (full admin), and the sqlnet.ora and ldap.ora files are setup properly (tnsping provides results in less than 1 second, with message "Used LDAP adapter to resolve the alias").
Today I downloaded the newest stable '4.1.5' SQL Developer and the newest BETA '4.2.0' SQL Developer (both with the 'JDK 8' included in the download).
Each time that I attempt to create a new DB connection, both SQL Developer versions hang for over 5 minutes (the DIALOG 'edit window' to insert new DB connection string details does not pop-up for over 5 minutes).
All other tasks/actions work fine in both versions of SQL Developer (actually connecting via an 'existing' DB connection, SQL queries, ...).
Thoughts?
Thanks for your time, Scott.
