[Bug 422303] [NEW] jvisualvm just throws an NPE on starting any java application

[Nonconventionally Creative]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: visualvm

Ubuntu 9.04
visualvm 0.20080728-1ubuntu2
Expected: running jvisualvm at the same time as a java application will allow profiling of the application.
Actual: instead of showing running java applications, the openjdk version of jvisualvm just displays a message with an NPE when a java program is started, or if the java application is started first, on startup. In addition, jvisualvm's own task appears as <Unknown Application>

the sun jdk  jvisualvm in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/bin/ shows
running java tasks properly, even with update-java-alternatives set to
openjdk

in addition, as a feature request, jvisualvm should be added to the rest
of the stufff instead of providing nothing for sun's and symlinking
/usr/bin/jvisualvm to ../lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/jvisualvm

Attached is the full log, for the error, grep -A 17 SEVERE messages.log
