SQL Developer "visits" each defined connection on startup
787907Jul 28 2010 — edited Aug 6 2010I am using SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. When I start it, it "visits" each defined connection. I'm using the term "visits" rather than "connects" because it doesn't auto-expand the entries in the Connections list, and it doesn't open up any SQL Worksheets. But it is DEFINITELY doing something which causes it to attempt to access each of the database servers (perhaps only to determine if a connection is possible).
Is there any way to turn this off?
The reason I ask: I have a number of connections pre-defined, for accessing customers' systems through a corporate VPN. Each time I access a customer system, the VPN prompts me to login and indicate a reason for access. I don't want to have to loop through all of those prompts every time I start SQL Developer.
Some of my colleagues are using older versions (1.2, 1.5), and they don't have this issue.
