If you have difficulties with running SQL Developer (in my case 4.0.2.15.21) from Oracle in console on Linux you can see such stack trace :
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007feb22ed8be0, pid=32116, tid=140649711318784

/home/lukasz/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/../../ide/bin/launcher.sh: line 1193: 32116 Przerwane (core dumped) ${JAVA} "${APP_VM_OPTS[@]}" ${APP_ENV_VARS} -classpath ${APP_CLASSPATH} ${APP_MAIN_CLASS} "${APP_APP_OPTS[@]}"
So, fix of this problem is quite easy - go to file sqldeveloper.sh which is located in folder of your SQL Developer and add at the beginning of this file the following line :
unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
 |
| SQLDeveloper.sh |
