I just installed oracle database. I want to work using sqldeveloper. I downloaded the latest version of it. After extracting it when I intend to run it, it shows this messages.please specify the path to java jdk home and 'can't find a java SE SDK installed at"c:\program files(*86)\java\jdk1.7.0_60\bin"'
I can't find any answer for this problem. I tried installing java again, there is no 'jdk' folder in my sqldeveloper folder(latest version). I can't understand what can I do?

The JDK software is installed on your computer, for example, at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1. 6.0_02. You can move the JDK software to another location if desired.
Start your screen reader. Start SQL Developer by running the file sqldeveloper.exe located in the folder <sqldev_home> \sqldeveloper\sqldev\bin .
To start SQL Developer, go to the sqldeveloper directory under the SQL Developer installation directory (for example, on a Windows system this might be C: \sqldeveloper), and do one of the following: On Linux systems, type: sh sqldeveloper.sh • On Windows systems, double-click sqldeveloper.exe. Files\Java\jdk1.
There could be two things here:
If it's the second point, the following might help. (and if it's not, it will probably sound quite patronising, sorry about that).
Java comes in two flavours.
Unless you're a developer, you normally just need the runtime (Java Runtime Environment, or JRE), which is what you normally end up with if you go to download java.
But if you want to write programs in Java or, it appears, use SQL developer, you need the version of Java that lets you write java programs, and compile them to something that will run on the Java runtime. That's the Java Development Kit, or JDK.
If you google "download java", you'll end up here: https://java.com/en/download/ You get the "runtime" or JRE.
But if you google "download jdk", you end up here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Which is more likely to be what you want.
After you've downloaded and installed that, point SQL Developer at the folder that that one has installed into. You can check you've got a JDK because there'll be a program called javac in the bin folder.
Alternatively, some of the SQL Developer downloads include the JDK as well, so if you make sure you download one of those, it should solve the issue. (This is probably what @Mate is suggesting in that comment).

You can find JDK in this folder when you install oracle.
choose c:\oracle\x32orx64\client\jdk directory.
It will solve the problem with SQL Developer because I had to move it to another directory since it asks for admin rights every time non-admin run it.
