Has anybody managed to get SQL Developer working on MacOS Big Sur on ARM/Apple Silicon yet?

Richard AllenNov 23 2020

I've followed the recent discussions on running SQL Developer on Macs that have been upgraded to Big Sub. Presumably they are all Intel-based Macs. Has anyone got a shiny new M1 / ARM based Mac that they have got SQL Developer running on?
There seem to be a couple of issues.
JDK. After seeing that Azul Zulu OpenJDK is available already ported to MacOS on AS/ARM, i tried installing that. SQLDeveloper starts ti run -- but that doesn't include JavaFX and so can't render the entire canvas.
Should Oracle Java JDK for Intel work, through Rosetta? I tried removing Zulu & installing Oracle JDK 11 then Sql Developer 20.2. This doesn't seem to run? Should it, or do I need an ARM JDK inc JavaFX?
Any thoughts welcome. I know this is early days and this is bleeding edge...

Thanks, Richard.
