To start Oracle SQL Developer I have to write
cd /opt/sqldeveloper/
./sqldeveloper.sh

I tried to make a shortcut to the sqldeveloper.sh file on my desktop, but when I run the shortcut I only see the script in gedit. It doesnt run it.

How can I make the script run when I click my desktop shortcut?

Welcome to askubuntu.SE! Please take the tour, have a look around, and read through the help center, in particular How do I ask a good question? and What topics can I ask about here?. - did you set the executable flag using 'chamod'?

So, my guess is that it's not set as an executable. Check it's permissions.

From the command line you can run the following to add execute permissions to the file:

chmod +x sqldeveloper.sh

Another method I'd recommend is creating a shortcut would be the following:

cd /usr/share/applications

sudo gedit ./sqldeveloper.desktop

This will open an empty file in Gedit.

In the file, add the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]

Name=SQL Developer

Comment=Oracle SQL Developer

GenericName=SQL Developer for Linux

Exec=/opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh &

Type=Application

Categories=Developer;

Save the file.

Now if you use the Search for SQL Developer in your app menu, you'll find SQL Developer and you can run it from there.

Now you can either add that as a favorite of yours or you can drag and drop it to your desktop.

To confirm, I just did this process myself while writing this up.
