Hi,

please read this thread

(second page, post from ".oRobo.", Nov 17, 2009 2:10 PM). 

I had exactly the same issue, SQLDeveloper (Version 1.5.5. and 2.1EA1)
throwed some ClassNotFound Exception if I was starting it. The problem was
that TheUnarchiver messed up with the downloaded tar.gz and created a
folder with two entries:
- SQLDeveloper.app
- @LongLink

After unpacking it with StuffIt Expander I got only the SQLDeveloper.app,
which worked.

Im running MacOSX 10.6.2, TheUnarchiver 2.2

You can download the SQLDeveloper from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html, but
you'll need a free Oracle acount to download it.

The file is broken. It is created by a broken tar writer class. We'll try to 
add support for these broken files in the 
future, but you're better off reporting to the people who created the file that 
they need to update their code to 
the latest version, we supplied a fix for that broken tar writer already.

See issue 204.
