[Quoted] From the JDeveloper 10g (9.0.5.1) OBE entitled "Designing, Modeling and Generating Database Tables":
Step 3 - Import Tables from a Database
Connection
Now that you have a blank database diagram, you can directly import tables from the database connection by dragging them onto the diagram. Importing the tables creates the offline table definitions which you will work with before creating the DDL to create new tables in a database.
- To import tables from the connection you have to the database, click the
Connections tab so that the Connections Navigator is visible, or choose
View | Connection Navigator. Expand the Database, and HR nodes to see all
the database elements available through this connection.
I acknowledge the above technique may not fit within the requirements or definition of 'Reverse Engineering'.
FWIW: I believe Designer is the better tool for this. IMO, JDeveloper is trying to become a JOAT tool, which has it's uses. (But for close combat a Bayonet may be better than a Swiss Army knife.)
