Same issue here. When I run SqlDeveloper with sudo, it gets installed and shown, but not without it. When installing without sudo I get this error in terminal:

Installing updates...
Failed to backup /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/extensions/keepalive.jar to /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/extensions/keepalive.jar.backup.
Update installation failed.

Maybe not a good Idea, but doing this fixed the issue:

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/sqldeveloper

The chmod tip worked. But, I would just check the original owner, change to your user, and rollback the change ls -ltrad /opt/sqldeveloper (usually root) sudo chown -R larry_e /opt/sqldeveloper #start sqldeveloper with this user, install plugin, close the app. chown -R root /opt/sqldeveloper

I didn't check if there is a file with another user inside sqldeveloper. But someone will do better than me and check.
