OzBsidian colour scheme for Oracle SQL Developer

This is a spinoff of Obsidian colour scheme for Oracle SQL Developer. It is based on [Obsidian Eclipse colour scheme by Morinar] (http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/?view=theme&id=21).

Installation

Unfortunately Oracle doesn't make it easy to import a new colour scheme into SQL Developer, thus a little bit of hacking is required.

• Close SQL Developer. This is important. If you modify the scheme file while SQL Developer is open, your changes won't be saved.

• Locate file dtcache.xml in the SQL Developer's settings directory. On my system it is located in directory C:\Users\sergey\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.0.3.16.84\o.ide.12.1.3.2.41.140908.1359

• Locate <schemeMap> tag inside dtcache.xml file. Insert the content of ozbsidian-scheme.xml file inside <schemeMap> alongside the other colour schemes. Be careful not to break the XML.

• Launch SQL Developer. Navigate to menu Tools->Preferences, then select item Code Editor -> PL/SQL Syntax Colours in the left pane.

• Select "OzBsidian" in the "Scheme" drop down list on the top.
