2 Installing the ADF Skin Editor
The ADF Skin Editor does not require an installer. You install it by extracting it from the skineditor.zip
file that it is packaged in. To download the skineditor.zip
file, see Oracle ADF's Download page on the Oracle Technology Network at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html
.
To install the ADF Skin Editor, you will need an unzip tool. You can download a free, cross-platform unzip tool, Info-Zip, available at: http://www.info-zip.org/
.
Caution:
Make sure that you install the ADF Skin Editor into a directory that does not contain spaces. For example, do not use C:Program Files
as the installation directory.
To install the ADF Skin Editor from skineditor.zip
:
If you do not have JDK 6.0 Update 39 or later installed, you can obtain it from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
.Unzip
skineditor.zip
to the target directory.Caution:
After you unzip
skineditor.zip
to the target directory, do not rename theskineditor
directory that contains the ADF Skin Editor executable. For example, if you unzippedskineditor.zip
toC:installdir
, do not rename theskineditor
directory at the following location:C:installdirskineditor
. This directory is part of the ADF Skin Editor installation.Note:
For the remainder of this document, in the context of the ADF Skin Editor,
MW_HOME
is used to represent the directory of the installation. For example, if you unzippedskineditor.zip
intoC:installdir
, thenMW_HOME
refers toC:installdirskineditor
.
3 Using the ADF Skin Editor on Windows
Once the installation is complete, you can begin using the ADF Skin Editor on Windows systems.
3.1 Starting the ADF Skin Editor
To start the ADF Skin Editor on Windows, run the following command from the command line:
Download Oracle 11g Client For Mac Os X
MW_HOME
skineditor.exe
3.2 Specifying the JDK location
Specify the location of your JDK installation in the dialog that appears when you start the ADF Skin Editor for the first time. You will need to enter the path to the Java executable, for example D:jdk1.6.0_39bin
.
3.3 Changing the JDK location
To change a JDK location that you have previously specified, set the variable SetJavaHome
in the file MW_HOME
skineditorbinskineditor.conf
to the location of your JDK installation. Use an editor that recognizes UNIX end-of-line characters, such as WordPad. When you save the file, WordPad will warn you that it is about to save the file in text-only format. You can ignore this warning.
For example, in a Windows environment, if the location of your JDK is in a directory called jdk1.6.0_39 on your D: drive, your entry in skineditor.conf
would look like:
SetJavaHome d:jdk1.6.0_39
3.4 User Directories
The following list describes the default directory structure within the ADF Skin Editor on Windows:
The default location for the
system
subdirectory is%APPDATA%skineditorsystem11.1.2.4.XX.XX.XX
, whereXX.XX.XX
is the unique number of the product build.The default location for user-generated content is:
C:Users
user
Documentsskineditormywork
on Windows 7 systems.C:skineditormywork
on all other Windows platforms.
For more information on user directories and how to set the value for the home environment variable, see Section 7, 'Setting the User Home Directory'.
4 Using the ADF Skin Editor on Linux and UNIX Systems
Once the installation is complete, you can begin working with the ADF Skin Editor on Linux and UNIX systems.
4.1 Changing System Cursors
On UNIX or Linux platforms, the Java cursors may display large and opaque, creating difficulties when used for drag and drop operations. To address this problem the ADF Skin Editor provides a set of cursors to replace the default set. You must have write access to the JDK in order to replace the cursors.
To replace the cursors:
Make a backup copy of the default cursors located in the JDK directory at:
<jdk_install>/jre/lib/images/cursors
Extract the replacement cursors from the tar file at:
MW_HOME
/skineditor/jdev/bin/clear_cursors.tar
4.2 Setting the System Resource Limit
The minimum recommended system resource limit for the ADF Skin Editor on Linux systems is 4096.
To determine the resource limit configuration for your system, enter:
/bin/sh -c 'ulimit -n
If the value returned is less than 4096
, you set the system resource limit:
Open the
limits.conf
file, which is located in the/etc/security/
directory.Look for the following lines:
In the lines, change the value to 4096. The lines will then read:
Note:
In case the lines listed in Step 2 do not exist, add the lines listed in Step 3 to the
limits.conf
file.
4.3 Starting the ADF Skin Editor
Oracle 11g Download For Windows 10
To start the ADF Skin Editor on Linux and UNIX, run the following file:
Oracle 11g Download Linux

skineditor/bin/skineditor
4.4 Specifying the JDK location
When you start the ADF Skin Editor for the first time, the skineditor
script prompts you to provide the location of your JDK installation if it cannot locate it. You will need to enter the path to the Java executable, for example /usr/local/java/bin/java
.
4.5 Changing the JDK location
To change a JDK location that you have previously specified, set the variable SetJavaHome
in the file MW_HOME
/skineditor/bin/skineditor.conf
to the location of your Java installation.
For example, in a UNIX environment, if the location of your JDK is in a directory called /usr/local/java
, your entry in skineditor.conf
would look like:
SetJavaHome /usr/local/java
5 Using the ADF Skin Editor on Mac OS X Platforms
Once the installation is complete, you can begin using the ADF Skin Editor on Mac OS X platforms.
5.1 Starting the ADF Skin Editor
To start the ADF Skin Editor, run the following file:
MW_HOME
/skineditor/bin/skineditor.
5.2 Specifying the JDK location

7 Setting the User Home Directory
This section provides instructions on how to define a user home environment variable and set its value for each user in order for the ADF Skin Editor to identify user home directories correctly.
The user home directory contains the user's preferences for the ADF Skin Editor (in the system subdirectory). It is also the default location for new projects (in the skineditormywork
directory) as well as other configuration files that are specific to a given user.
Caution:
Make sure that you choose a Home directory that does not contain spaces. For example, do not use C:My Home
as your home directory.
To define the name of the user home environment variable:
Open the file
MW_HOME
/skineditor/bin/skineditor.boot
in a text editor. Use an editor that recognizes UNIX end-of-line characters, such as WordPad.Find the entry:
ide.user.dir.var = JDEV_USER_HOME, JDEV_USER_DIR
This is the default variable that the ADF Skin Editor will look for at startup. You can define or add any environment variable that the ADF Skin Editor should use. As the terminal server administrator, you may change the name of this variable to follow your system's naming conventions.
Note:
You can explicitly set the home environment variable by adding the following line in the
skineditor.boot
file:ide.user.dir = <Path to preferred user directory>
The output should look something like this:
Save the file. If you are using WordPad, it will warn you that it is about to save the file in text-only format. You can ignore this warning.
The user home directory can also be specified from the command line using this command:
skineditor.exe -J-Dide.user.dir=<Path>
Examples:
skineditor.exe -J-Dide.user.dir=D:usersjdoe
(on Windows).skineditor -J-Dide.user.dir=/home/users/jdoe
(on Linux and UNIX).
7.1 Setting the Home Environment Variable on Windows
To set the home environment variable on a Windows systems, including individual users of the ADF Skin Editor on a multiuser system, use the following steps:
Caution:
Do not set the home environment variable to a directory that contains spaces. For example, do not specify C:My Projects
as the home directory.
From the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel, and then select System.
Select the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables.
In the User Variables section, click New.
Add
JDEV_USER_DIR
, or the name you chose foride.user.dir.var
, as a user variable.Set the value of this variable to your home directory (for example,
N:usersjdoe
), and click OK.To check your variable setting, open a command shell and enter:
set
You should see output similar to the following:
JDEV_USER_DIR=N:usersjdoe
Launch the ADF Skin Editor.
From the Help menu, select About to verify that the value of
ide.user.dir
is set to your user home directory.
7.2 Setting the Home Environment Variable on Linux and UNIX
Use the following steps to set the environment variable on Linux and UNIX systems. The examples and syntax provided refer to the C Shell.
Caution:
Do not set the home environment variable to a directory that contains spaces. For example, do not specify home/jdoe/my projects
as the home directory.
In your startup configuration file (for example,
.cshrc
), set the environment variable to your preferred directory. For example, use the following command to set the home environment variable tomydocs/skinfiles
under the$HOME
directory:setenv JDEV_USER_DIR $HOME/mydocs/skinfiles
Source the file to make your changes take effect:
source .cshrc
Display the environment variable to confirm the change:
echo $JDEV_USER_DIR
You should see output similar to the following:
/home/jdoe/mydocs/skinfiles
Launch the ADF Skin Editor.
From the Help menu, select About to verify that the value of
ide.user.dir
is set to your user home directory.
By default, the user home directory on Linux and UNIX is $HOME/jdevhome
.
7.3 Setting the Home Environment Variable on Mac OS X
Use the following steps to set the environment variable on Mac OS X systems. The examples and syntax provided refer to the BASH shell.
Caution:
Do not set the home environment variable to a directory that contains spaces. For example, do not specify home/jdoe/my projects
as the home directory.
In your startup configuration file (for example, .bashrc), set the environment variable to your preferred directory:
JDEV_USER_DIR=$HOME/mydocs/skinfiles
Export the new value of the environment variable:
export JDEV_USER_DIR
Source the file to make your changes take effect:
. .profile
Display the environment variable to confirm the change:
echo $JDEV_USER_DIR
You should see output similar to the following:
/Users/jdoe/mydocs/skinfiles
Launch the ADF Skin Editor.
From the Help menu, select About to verify that the value of
ide.user.dir
is set to your user home directory.
By default, the user home directory on Mac OS X is $HOME/jdeveloper
