Hi,
when using the SQL Developer (23.1.0.097) for a longer time the product-preferences.xml reaches a size of about 600MB and SQL Developer does not start anymore. The problem seem to be garbage characters in the product-preferences.xml from somehow converted umlaut/unicode characters.
Excerpt from product-preferences.xml :
<hash n="DBConfig">
<value n="" v="" />
<hash n="EXTENSION" />
<value n="GLOGIN" v="true" />
<hash n="URLFileChooserPaths">
<list n="DEFAULT_CONTEXT">
<url path="../../../../../Stundung.sql" />
<url path="../../../../../NichtangeordEinz.sql" />
<url path="../../../../../fürMorgen.sql" />
<url path="../../../../../fürMorgen.sql" />
<url path="../../../../../fürMorgen.sql" />
<url path="../../../../../fürMorgen.sql" />
<url path="../../../../../fÃÃâ₠... ¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¼rMorgen.sql" />
fürMorgen.sql should be fürMorgen.sql and it looks as if the file name gets longer and longer and is finally REALLY (5000+ chars) long.
Any idea what the reason could be for that behavior?
Many regards
