Bug Description

The script make-sqldeveloper-package should modify the /usr/bin/sqldeveloper script to set a standard ubuntu java path (/usr/lib/jvm/default-java) and no asking "Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path will be stored in ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk". If the user has ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk it should be preferred.

Thanks.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem possible to comply with.

Depending on which version of SQL Developer one is building the required JDK may vary from JDK5.0 up to JDK8.0. Furthermore, SQL Developer versions prior to 4.0 aren't compatible with JDK7.0 or newer.

This means that a compatible JDK must be installed and set on a case by case basis, hence the use of a default path potentially can bring a more harmful outcome than replying to a one time question.
