sql developer hangs on startup - what can I do?

At present I cannot run it (SQL Developer 4.1) because it hangs on "Restoring Editors" while starting. I suppose I've done it by exiting it before by killing sql developer process because it was hanged on fetching objects to Schema Browser so long... Maybe I would clean some temporary files but can't find any. Any ideas?

Solution

  • Basing on this thread https://community.oracle.com/thread/2564842 I've created own solution.

    1. Extract installation of current version SQL Developer (4.1.0.17.29)
    2. At "c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\" I've changed directory name system4.1.0.17.29 to system4.1.0.17.28.
    3. After running newly extracted SQL Developer (4.1.0.17.29) I was prompted to let copy configuration from version 4.1.0.17.28 to 4.1.0.17.29 ;)
    4. Everything works great now. I suppose that running the same (broken) installation after decreasing version could also help.
