This new post is about users who would like to update to the newest jdk, without having to waste time or hard disk space, by setting up from scratch JDeveloper 11g, each time a new jdk is available. Moreover, people who still use older versions of the database such as 9, may also find handy the jdbc connection localization properties hint which follows. If you 'd like to jump to it at once, please search for
connecting to Oracle. A full sample of jdev.conf file is presented as a reference for your convenience. So let's get started!
First, you need first to setup the Sun 64bit jdk, then you need to edit the
C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdev_11114\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.conf file:
#
# Directive SetJavaHome is not required by default, except for the base
# install, since the launcher will determine the JAVA_HOME. On Windows
# it looks in ..\..\jdk, on UNIX it first looks in ../../jdk. If no JDK
# is found there, it looks in the PATH.
#
#SetJavaHome C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdev_11114\jdk160_21
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24
...
and you might get the following message the next time you start JDev

@REM *************************************************************************
@REM This script is used to setup the needed environment to be able to start Weblogic Server in this domain.
@REM
@REM This script initializes the following variables before calling commEnv to set other variables:
@REM
@REM WL_HOME - The BEA home directory of your WebLogic installation.
@REM JAVA_VM - The desired Java VM to use. You can set this environment variable before calling
@REM this script to switch between Sun or BEA or just have the default be set.
@REM JAVA_HOME - Location of the version of Java used to start WebLogic
@REM Server. Depends directly on which JAVA_VM value is set by default or by the environment.
@REM USER_MEM_ARGS - The variable to override the standard memory arguments
@REM passed to java.
@REM PRODUCTION_MODE - The variable that determines whether Weblogic Server is started in production mode.
@REM DOMAIN_PRODUCTION_MODE
@REM - The variable that determines whether the workshop related settings like the debugger,
@REM testconsole or iterativedev should be enabled. ONLY settable using the
@REM command-line parameter named production
@REM NOTE: Specifying the production command-line param will force
@REM the server to start in production mode.
@REM
@REM Other variables used in this script include:
@REM SERVER_NAME - Name of the weblogic server.
@REM JAVA_OPTIONS - Java command-line options for running the server. (These
@REM will be tagged on to the end of the JAVA_VM and
@REM MEM_ARGS)

Although the paths are from a win7 machine, I think one can get the general idea in order to proceed. For unix or linux users, one can find
help here. Thus, one can avoid the risk of losing one's application or database server connections imposed by setting up JDev from scratch and migrating.
Finally, I don't know, does Oracle support officially certify jdev to work right, after a user has altered the default jdev jdk? That's why keeping the old default jdk entries as comments, is safer; in case the built in 32 bit jdk needs to be used once more.
A recent finding would be my attempt to use the profiler of JDeveloper which only works with the built in 32 bit jdk, provided one installs the 32 bit visual studio 2010 C++
redistributable file .When I tried to use the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) I got:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not find agent library C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdev_11115\jdeveloper\jdev\lib\profiler_x64.dll in absolute path, with error: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform
Process exited.
So remember before you start swearing at me, that you were warned!
Having problems connecting to Oracle 9i? Try tweaking once more the configuration files
Speaking of database connections, I recently noticed that when one attempts to connect to an Oracle 9i database with Greek regional settings, one receives:
Test failed: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01882: timezone region not found
Having heard of a similar solution working for SQL Developer, a similar method crosses one's mind. One needs to edit:

What worries me most, is when each newer version of the I.D.E. or Sun jdk becomes available, if one is forced to setup from scratch, might not remember all the necessary steps to edit properly the new configuration files and continue with the current project. So backing up the jdev configuration files sounds like a good, proactive idea!
