title: Oracle SQL Developer - Issue with JDBC Driver
body: <p>I've:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows 7 x64</li>
  <li>My 11G Oracle client as per below
  C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1</li>
  <li>My SQL Developer (downloaded the kit with JDK 8 included, but installed the JSK separately just in case) dir as per below
  C:\sqldeveloper</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When I try to connect using TNS I have </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>no ocijdbc12 in java.library.path</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If I go to Settings -> Database -> Advanced and choose my Oracle dir manually I get this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Testing the Oracle Home located at C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1
    Testing client directory ... OK Testing loading Oracle JDBC driver ...
    OK Testing checking Oracle JDBC driver version ... <strong>Failed:   Minimum
    driver version 11.2.0.3 required, specified driver version is
    11.2.0.1.0</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I looked into upgrading the JDBC driver, but I can't use the check for updates feature, since it appears to be blocked in my virtual machine.</p>
  
  <p>I got the ojdbc7.jar from the SQL developer directory and copied it to C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib, and now I get the error below:</p>
  
  <blockquote>

  <p>Have no idea what I'm doing at this point. Could you please help?</p>
