Open “Add Connection” – there should now be a SQL Server tab.In SQL Developer go to Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Third party JDBC Drivers.Download and unzip the file into the main SQL Developer directory (or the directory of your choice).NOTE: For SQL Developer 4.0EA3 and SQL Developer Data Modeler 4.0 (production) you now need jtds-1.3.1.
