JDeveloper on a Mac

In order to provide more information on using Groovy with Oracle Data integrator and moreover with Oracle Products, I installed on a Mac the 10 g version of JDeveloper

If you intend to work with the embeded OC4J, the first tip will be to check if the Tools->Start WebCenter Preconfigured OC4J is working.

You may encounter the following error:

Error# Can not find java executable in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/../bin.

This is easy to correct.
Choose Tools->External Tools



Then Edit Start WebCenter Preconfigured OC4J


Remove the dots after "Home"


Repeat the same with the "Stop WebCenter Preconfigured OC4J" tool and you are set for OC4J.

Next time I'll try to show you interaction between Groovy and OC4J ;)
