If you do not see DBMS output just add

set serveroutput on

at the top and execute the statements as a script, you will see the output in "Script output" section.

set serveroutput on
DECLARE
message  varchar2(20):= 'Hello, World!';
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line(message);
END;

Assuming you already have a connection configured in SQL Developer:

from the View menu, select DBMS Output
in the DBMS Output window, click the green plus icon, and select your connection
right-click the connection and choose SQL worksheet
paste your query into the worksheet
run the query

Which version of SQL/Developer are you using? Which language settings? (in my (German) IDE, it's called "DBMS Ausgabe" instead of "Dbms output")) – Frank Schmitt Aug 27 '13 at 11:42

Surround your procedure code accordingly :

create or replace procedure YOUR_TEST as
begin
  <proc code here>
end;
/
show errors

Hit the green arrow to compile - you should get the following message :

Procedure YOUR_TEST compiled

Now run it :

exec YOUR_TEST ;

n.b.: env: Oracle 12g, Sql Developer v18.4
