Comments
EVALUATION Note: I had to modify the sqldeveloper-Darwin.conf file to point it to a proper JDK image. The application is starting with the correct dock icon, however later it gets overridden. Also note that the Apple menu bar states that the app's name is "Launcher", while when running with Apple JDK the name is displaed correctly. It looks like this is a Launcher bug in Oracle JDK on the Mac, thus I'm reassigning this issue to ###@###.### for further evaluation.
