Using Java Developer Tools with Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service (EECS)UCP

Access the Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service using Java Developer tools such as JDeveloper, NetBeans, Eclipse, and Intellij. This page describes changing the path of JDK, passing location of tnsnames.ora, and passing location and password for JKS Files as system properties in each one of these development tools. Refer to this page for steps to establish a successful connection when using JDeveloper, NetBeans, Eclipse, and Intellij.

      1. [Linux] Find the product.conf file. It should be located at $HOME/.jdeveloper/12.2.1.1.0
        Edit product.conf and update the following with the required JDK path. 
        SetJavaHome /usr/jdk_1.8.0_91
      2. [Windows] Find the product.conf file. It should be located at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\<product-version>\ Edit product.conf and update the following with the required JDK path. SetJavaHome D:\java\jdk1.8.0_91
    2. Create a Database Connection and Test the connectivity
      1. Create a Database Connection File --> New --> Application --> Choose "Database Tier"--> Database Connection and follow all the steps to create a "Database Connection"
      2.
