Welcome to Jurassic Park!

Oracle released so called "Project Raptor"  which is a Java version of an
intuitive, graphic SQL IDE. It looks extremely good and is surprisingly
fast. Check it up on:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/project_raptor/index.html

I tested it on my beloved FC3 workstation and it works like a charm.
Installation:

1) Unzip the installation in your home directory. 2) Chmod 755 $HOME/raptor/jdev/bin/raptor 3) Enjoy.


In order for the installation to work, one must have JAVA_HOME defined in the environment. The tool works flawlessly with JDK 1.5:

$ $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/java -version
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
$


Job well done!


I work on MacOS X as a workstation, and it works like a charm too.

Notes:

Install java 1.5 from apple dev website.

use this home:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home/

you may need to add "SetSkipJ2SDKCheck true" in raptor/jdev/bin/raptor.conf

Enjoy
