SQL Developer Crash on Fedora 20

I ran into a painful issue on Fedora 20 with SQL Developer. Basically every time it was launched via the shortcut it would go through loading, and then disappear.

When launching it via the script itself it gives us a little more information.

 bash
 
 
/opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh
