In July 2017 Oracle announced to release updates for SQL Developer on a quarterly basis. Installing multiple versions of SQL Developer on the same machine is not a problem. Therefore many developers install a new version as soon as it becomes available. On the first start SQL Developer offers to import the settings of the previous version. This works quite well for most settings. However, all third-party extensions must be installed manually afterwards. This is a cumbersome and boring task.

This repository maintains an update center for a set of freely available SQL Developer extensions to speed up the configuration of a new SQL Developer installation.

The following SQL Developer extensions are included in the update center:

• utPLSQL
• oddgen
• Bitemp Remodeler
• db* CODECOP
• PL/SQL Unwrapper
• plscope-utils
• Show Me Password

Click the Help menu and select Check for Updates…. Press the Add button to register the update center https://update.salvis.com/ . For this URL a redirect to https://philippsalvisberg.github.io/sqldev-update/sqldeveloper.xml is configured. The content is synchronized by GitHub based on the docs/sqldeveloper.xml in the main branch of this repository.

Then press Next > to show the available updates. Select the updates you want and press Next > to start the download process.

Wait until all updates are downloaded and press Finish.

Restart SQL Developer to install the downloaded updates.
