jdeveloper 12c generic installer windows 10 integrated weblogic cannot create domain

If you try to install JDeveloper 12c (12.2.1 or 12.1.3) on Windows 10 using the generic installer you will not manage to create a new WebLogic domain because jython libraries that integrated weblogic have cannot recognize the operating system. The same problem can happen if you install on Windows 7 the 12c JDeveloper using the generic installer, then upgrade the operating system to Windows 10 and need to recreate the domain. This is also happening in SOA Suite and Business Process Management Suite quick start for Developers installation.

A quick solution for this is to use the Windows installer and not the generic one. For SOA/BPM quick start JDeveloper installation you need to patch the juthon-modules.jar to create the SOA domain.

If you still want to use the generic installer (for example to use a newer version of JDK) you can extract the jython-modules.jar at C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver\common\wlst\modules and edit javashell.py inside Lib. Find _osTypeMap and add the string 'Windows 10'.

_osTypeMap = (
        ( "nt", ( 'nt', 'Windows NT', 'Windows NT 4.0', 'WindowsNT',
                  'Windows 2000', 'Windows 2003', 'Windows XP', 'Windows CE',
                  'Windows Vista', 'Windows Server 2008', 'Windows 7', 'Windows 8', 
                  'Windows Server 2012', 'Windows 10' )),
        ( "dos", ( 'dos', 'Windows 95', 'Windows 98', 'Windows ME' )),
        ( "mac", ( 'mac', 'MacOS', 'Darwin' )),
        ( "None", ( 'None', )),
        )

Then you need to package jar file again using jar -cvf jython-modules.jar *.* inside jython-modules extracted folder.

You can optionally download the patched jython-modules.jar for windows 10 here:

jdeveloper 12c (12.1.3) is crashing on ubuntu 15.04 with unity

Jdeveloper 12c and especially version 12.1.3 is crashing when used with unity on Ubuntu 15.04. The problem is JAyatana a package for integrate swing applications with unity that is installed by default in 15.04.

JDeveloper's Integrated Weblogic on Windows 8

JDeveloper on Windows 8 cannot create default domain and start integrated weblogic because of Jython modules cannot recognize the operating system and try to execute scripts for unix operating system.

Error on message log is:

[Waiting for the domain to finish building...]
[11:48:02 PM] Creating Integrated Weblogic domain...
[11:48:18 PM] ERROR:  An error occurred while building the default domain.
Please see this log file for more details:
C:\Users\chris\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.6.38.62.29\o.j2ee.adrs\CreateDefaultDomain.log
The Server Instance cannot be started because the Integrated Weblogic domain was not built successfully.

and in CreateDefaultDomain.log there are more details:
....
wlst > Failed to get environment, environ will be empty: (0, 'Failed to execute command ([\'sh\', \'-c\', \'env\']): java.io.IOException:
Cannot run program "sh": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified')
wlst > Error:  ADRS_DOMAIN_PASSWORD environment variable not set.
....

To solve this we need to patch the jython-modules.jar. For default JDeveloper installation path we need to go to C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\wlst\modules and extract the jython-modules.jar using an utility like 7-zip. Then we need to open the javashell.py python script inside lib folder and add at line 139 a String for Windows 8 OS:

_osTypeMap = (
        ( "nt", ( 'nt', 'Windows NT', 'Windows NT 4.0', 'WindowsNT',
                  'Windows 2000', 'Windows 2003', 'Windows XP', 'Windows CE',
                  'Windows Vista', 'Windows Server 2008', 'Windows 7', 'Windows 8' )),
        ( "dos", ( 'dos', 'Windows 95', 'Windows 98', 'Windows ME' )),
        ( "mac", ( 'mac', 'MacOS', 'Darwin' )),
        ( "None", ( 'None', )),
        )

Then we need to package jar file again using jar -cvf jython-modules.jar *.* inside jython-modules extracted folder. Then after we backup (just in case) the old jython-modules.jar we override it with our new jython-modules.jar.

I experience this with JDeveloper 11.1.1.6 but i think the same problem will be with 11.1.2.3 as the same version of Weblogic (10.3.5) is incuded in both installations.

As ActiveLow mentioned on comments fix works also for JDeveloper 12.1.2 and Windows 2012.
