I have this as well.

It's okay - but first you need to get it working.

After those "expr" messages I get:

Using oracle.home=/usr/home/saper/sw/sqldeveloper
Using ide.user.dir=/usr/home/saper/.sqldeveloper

which con
2008-01-14 14:05:17 oracle.dbtools.raptor.timesten.TTAddin initialize
SEVERE: Cannot find TimesTen JDBC jar files in CLASSPATH

and the tool is working (haven't tried connecting though).

using

java version "1.5.0_13-p7"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.5.0_13-p7-root_03_dec_2007_00_10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build
1.5.0_13-p7-root_03_dec_2007_00_10, mixed mode)

Maybe your Java VM does not start up? Are other java apps running?
This may be related to some diablo-jdk problems reported on the -java
list recently.
