No attempt on x86_64-linux (full log)

The following builds were skipped because they don't evaluate on x86_64-linux: sqldeveloper

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
  { nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.

b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
  { allowUnfree = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

@Ma27 I looked at bumping to 18.2, but decided to defer this for now, as sqldeveloper started using JavaFX with 18.2. (so currently wont work with openjdk anymore at all).

Personally, I'd prefer to use openjdk, (and add JavaFX support via OpenJFX,) to avoid having to manually download the oracle JDK, as license disallows manual downloading, and also given there's no oraclejdk support for darwin in nixpkgs either.

you're right I guess, although the SQL developer is more stable with the Oracle SDK (according to Oracle^^). As I currently use and need SQL developer v18, I'll publish the changes in my personal overlay fore now. I'd leave this open (for now if that's okay) until SQL developer 17 is EOLed, then we can continue evaluate which JDK to use for this package.

@Ma27 Na, no need - I can imagine there's usecases where people might need to use the 18.x version too, even having to manually download yet another binary is not that appealing.

I'd like to keep sqldeveloper usable for Darwin users, and given we don't support oraclejdk on that platform in nixpkgs, I'm not very keen on making 18.2 default for now, but keep it as a separate derivation.

I rebased your commit, splitted it separate 18.2.nix file, exposed it in top-level as sqldeveloper_18, and added myself and you as maintainers ;-)
You can find the changes at https://github.com/flokli/nixpkgs/tree/sqldeveloper-18.2 . Let me know if this works for you :-)

First of all, thank you for your effort regarding my change and the introduction of Darwin support for sqldeveloper!

I can imagine there's usecases where people might need to use the 18.x version too, even having to manually download yet another binary is not that appealing.

Agreed! I tried to get SQL developer v18 work with OpenJDK, but didn't manage to because of several JavaFX issues which is why I decided to use OracleJDK for now, I know that this isn't optimal though :/

I didn't know about this as I'm not an OS X user, but yes, it would be a wrong decision to drop Darwin support again.

I just checked your branch out and built it locally - works fine!
I'll close this now, feel free to ping me when opening a PR from your sqldeveloper branch against Nixpkgs master :)

@Ma27 No worries :-)

I opened #45341 which adds sqldeveloper 18.2 to nixpkgs.
