how to move a JDeveloper folder correctly

To move a JDeveloper folder to a new location/machine:

  1. First find and edit the following files to the new path:
    path_to_new_jdev_root_folder\jdev\system\oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.42.70\embedded-oc4j\config\server.xml
  2. Change all the paths referencing the old JDeveloper folder with the new path i.e.
    old path is: c:\jdev_10.1.3.4
    and new path is: c:\user\jdev10.1.3.4,
    so everything should change to: c:\user\jdev10.1.3.4
