SQL Developer 4.0 won't start on Mac OS Lion (Stock on Loading Screen)

I have been looking for a solution to this problem because I want to use this software in my mac but seems not to work any of the solutions I found..

  1. of course installing the latest version of JAVA -> JDK 7
  2. changing sqldeveloper-Darwin.conf and SetJavaHome /Library/java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home
  3. same but changed to /Home/bin just to try diff solutions to the problem
  4. I also changed the sqldeveloper.conf and put the SetJavaHome /Library/java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home there
  5. try to run the sqldeveloper (/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin) shell waiting to see if was going to prompt me or ask me for JDK or whatever a set it to /usr (but never happened)
  6. going crazy now, so decide to make the post to see if someone can help or figure which step I am missing and maybe not seen the mistake..

This is where the program hangs...

I really hope, someone can help me, I really tired of booting on Windows to run SQL Developer plus I find it kinda dumb that Oracle don't encounter this kind of issue to make users experience more nice.. ;)

There is one solution. I have been using SQL Developer for some time now, and i am not happy about it (I am on a MAC btw), there are so many bugs and the intellisense sucks. It is a functional program nevertheless.

Download and use navicat instead. Or try to find another one instead. It might not be the solution you are looking for, but i will recommend it. http://www.navicat.com
