Cannot start SQL Developer

I tried to run SQL Developer, but it doesn't come up (hangs at the splash screen)

When using the "console version" in jdev/bin I can see an exception in the console window:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.jgoodies.looks.plastic.theme.SkyBluerTahoma.get Font()Ljavax/swing/plaf/FontUIResource;

Is there a way I can edit a configuration file, to prevent the usage of the JGoodies look and feel? Or any other fix for this problem?

This is with JDK 1.5.0_06-b05 and SQL Developer 1.0, Windows XP SP2
