Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path will be stored in ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/

That is what worked for me on the new sqldeveloper 3

Thanks! On Ubuntu 10.04.3 I made soft links to dos utils, but make-sqldeveloper-package tell about dependency to debhelper >=7. I simply install debhelper, and buid the package.

While creating the Debian pkg. you’ve to make sure “debhelper” is installed already; else, you’ll get the following error:

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 7)
debuild: fatal error at line 1304:
You do not appear to have all build dependencies properly met.

RESOLUTION: install “debhelper” and continue the step

1 for the “dos2unix” fix described by Miles.

I had previously been using install option 3, and I must say that this (option 4) is much better. Thank you Mick, and thank you Miles.
