SQL Developer JavaFX problem

By -
When running SQL Developer in Linux, you may encounter the "JavaFX" problem stating that the JavaFX libraries / components are not found. To solve this issue, you can consider the following solution:

  1. Install SDKMAN
  2. Use SDKMAN to install either "OpenJDK 11" or "Zulu JDK with FX"
    • sdk install java 11.0.7-open
                OR
    • sdk install java 8.0.252.fx-zulu
  1. Check the SQL Developer "product.conf" file to make sure the correct JDK is used.
    • ~/.sqldeveloper/<version>/product.conf
    • SetJavaHome /path_to_java_home
  2. If you just comment out the "SetJavaHome" variable, then the current JDK you use will be used with SQL Developer.
Enjoy!

Java encoding : UTF-8, Big5, x-MS950-HKSCS

By -
Suppose you got a file in Big5 containing some HKSCS characters (e.g. 深水埗, 赤鱲角, etc). When your environment (Ref: Charset.defaultCharset( ) ) is either UTF-8 / Big5, you will never get the things work. The proper encoding should be "x-MS950-HKSCS" This situation happens when I'm try the same pieces of code in Java console / Eclipse console and JSP @ Tomcat. While JSP works fine, but sucks in console mode. Finally I found the JSP is actually using encoding "x-MS950-HKSCS". To set environment charset in Eclipse: Right click on the file that you are going to execute (e.g. Testing.java), then "Properties" → "Run/Debug Settings" → "Common" → "Encoding". Type "x-MS950-HKSCS" in the field. What a pity!
