1/provide a full reproducible testcase so a bug can be logged and the issue can be worked in Oracle using the source code.
Not sure about 4.0EA but if it happens with production SQLDeveloper and production database - you can go through official Oracle support.
2/Do not install SQLDeveloper 4.0 EA1 on top of another SQLDeveloper installation
3/Use latest Java7
4/Are you using multibyte characters? (Chinese or Japanese being the most widely used in support calls)
5/Try as a operating system different user
In case your preferences are corrupt. (you can move your existing preferences out of the way - but using another user seems to avoid any support/user error possibilities.)
6/Try with SQLDeveloper 3.2.2
7/Try with SQLPLUS
8/debugging logging:
Most serious java issues cause a message to the screen ('Java Stack Trace') if you start sqldeveloper from ide/sqldeveloper/bin from the command line
There is also View->log->Logging Pane - which probably gives too much information
[This blog has an introduction to tracing http://totierne.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/introduction-to-tracing.html entry for the more adventurous - there is lots of information but the important bit is you can see exactly what is being sent to and from the database.]
9/Try the query as run statement, run script, try count (*), try a subset of columns, try to_char() the columns so the data transformation is mostly done in the Oracle Database
10/Are you using thick(i.e.OCI) or thin jdbc connection type? What driver are you using? What database are you using(try 'show jdbc' worksheet command) Is tools-->preferences->database->advanced->Use OCI/Thick driver checked
11/If trying with sys - try as another user.
12/When installing run as the installing user once so the JDK version can be put in the configuration file.
13/Useful SQLPLUS emulation features:
set echo on
set verify on
show jdbc
spool

Text version of PLSQL Formatter options in SQLDeveloper 4.0 (Now With Screenshots)
Introduction
This blog post is to display the different formatting options for Oracle SQLDeveloper.
I am using Oracle 'SQL' preferences as the base set of options.
I am also using the PL/SQL example code as shipped in the preferences UI.
I will do the text first and put in images/screen shots of the differences if time allows. (Now put in - could do with better cropping in the images) .

Double bind reference now work
Double bind now works see below:
begin
:v_status := 1234;
raise_application_error(-20000, 'account past due.');
exception when others then
:v_status := -1;
end;
/
The double bind variable :v_status confused SQLDeveloper and JDBC works now.
Note this fancy rewrite only happens when necessary - so issues with this approach only affect double bind code.
The internal details are:
The workaround (internal Oracle Developer) applied to apex has now been automated within sqldeveloper. If (SQLDeveloper user) uses multiple binds sqldeveloper will rewrite:
begin
:v_status := 1234;
raise_application_error(-20000, 'account past due.');
exception when others then
:v_status := -1;
end;
/
to:
1/setup:
2/rewritten plsql:
3/get output variables:
1/setup:
in java :v_statusinit = java bind v_status
2/rewritten plsql:
declare
myvstatus number:=:v_statusinit;
begin
begin
myvstatus := 1234;
raise_application_error(-20000, 'account past due.');
exception when others then
myvstatus := -1;
end;
:v_status := myvstatus;
end;
/
Note - additional code is actually written with no newlines, so debug/error line numbers are not affected.
3/get output variables:
in java java bind v_status = :v_status
The only nasty side effect is if you put a varchar2(20) into a varchar2(10) bind it will error out (rather than truncate) at the "myvstatus number:=:v_statusinitmy;" stage. Could possibly code for this - but would need to handle for example varchar2(20 byte) and varchar2(20 chat) code paths for the rewritten PL/SQL.

Rip SQL into and out of Java
Advanced
parameters: to rip sql in and out of say java using Output type,
Enclosed In, Escaped By. so:
SQL.append("SELECT 1 FROM dual");
-> make a change ->
(all one line)
SQL.append("SELECT 1,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxx FROM dual");
-> go to right click advanced format output as StringBuffer with:
enclosed in "
escaped by \
becomes:
SQL.append("SELECT \n");
SQL.append(" 1 , xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx , xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \n");
SQL.append(" , xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx , xxxxxxxx \n");
SQL.append("FROM \n");
SQL.append(" dual");
i.e. it rips out the SQL (removing \n), formats it (core formatter into SQL) then puts in the SQL.append (" at the start of the line and \n"); at the end of the line "); at the end of the last line.
What can go wrong? Fancy java. Should work but less tested for vb/sql in sql/php ...
What I should fix? Advanced formatter settings are not remembered between right clicks.

Text version of PLSQL Formatter options in SQLDeveloper 4.0
Introduction
This blog post is to display the different formatting options for Oracle SQLDeveloper.
(***LATER VERSION IS AVAILABLE ON THIS BLOG WITH SCREENSHOTS ***).
I am using Oracle 'SQL' preferences as the base set of options.
I am also using the PL/SQL example code as shipped in the preferences UI.
I will do the text first and put in images/screen shots of the differences if time allows.

This blog post is to display the different formatting options for Oracle SQLDeveloper.
(***LATER VERSION IS AVAILABLE ON THIS BLOG WITH SCREENSHOTS ***).
I am using Oracle 'SQL' preferences as the base set of options.
I am also using the PL/SQL example code as shipped in the preferences UI.
I will do the text first and put in images/screen shots of the differences if time allows.
