We study Josephson effect in graphene superconductor/barrier/superconductor junctions with short and wide barriers of thickness d and width L, which can be created by applying a gate voltage V-0 across the barrier region. We show that Josephson current in such graphene junctions, in complete contrast to their conventional counterparts, is an oscillatory function of both the barrier width d and the applied gate voltage V-0. We also demonstrate that in the thin barrier limit, where V-0 ->infinity and d -> 0 keeping V(0)d finite, such an oscillatory behavior can be understood in terms of transmission resonance of Dirac-Bogoliubov-de Gennes quasiparticles in superconducting graphene. We discuss experimental relevance of our work.
