Manually update java within the desktop version of SQL Developer for macOS?

Paul ReimannSep 2 2025

Is there a way to manually update the JDK that's embedded within ‘SQL Developer.app’? (/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/jdk/bin/java)

Qualys has been flagging 17.0.13 for months.


root@test-mac bin % /Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/jdk/bin/java --version

java 17.0.13 2024-10-15 LTS

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.13+4-LTS-259)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.13+4-LTS-259, mixed mode)
