JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 on Mac Lion

Challenge

Installing JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 on a MAC Lion

Context

Mac: 10.7.5
Jdeveloper: 11.1.2.4.0
Java: 1.7.0_17

Solution

I encountered 2 problems during installation:

1. In the Installation wizard, when you use Custom instead of Typical, you need to find the correct Java version yourself.  If you use Typical, the default Java is set per default.
2. When trying to run the WebLogic Server for the first time, I receive the following output:
   

   [Waiting for the domain to finish building...]

2 things go wrong here:

• He tries to use the -jrockit VM-type.
• There is no setting for the PermGenSpace

To solve this problem, perform the following steps:

• Go to the domain directory to find the setDomainEnv.sh file.
  This file can be found in <your home directory>/.jdeveloper/system11.1.2.4.39.64.36/DefaultDomain/bin
• Find the line with 'SUN_JAVA_HOME=""' and change/modify it to
• SUN_JAVA_HOME=$BEA_JAVA_HOME
• JAVA_VENDOR=Sun
• export SUN_JAVA_HOME JAVA_VENDOR
• Save the file and try to start the WLS Server
