SQLDeveloper 4.0.0 Startup Failure (Fatal Error in the IDE bootstrapping code)

user12131448Jan 28 2014 — edited Feb 27 2014

I'm struggling with getting SQL Developer to work with Java 7? If I update the startup script to use java 6, it starts but gives me a warning (seems to work though). Does anybody have any idea what's happening here with this 'A fatal error in the IDE boostraping code. Exiting ...' message? I installed a 'fresh' copy of java and sqldeveloper and am still getting these messages:

/Users/userid/Downloads/sqldeveloper $ $ uname -a

/Users/userid/Downloads/sqldeveloper $ bash ./sqldeveloper.sh

Thanks,
