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

[Nonconventionally Creative]

** Description changed:

  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
+ Edit: okay,  my paranoia about not including my username in the log has proven useless given how I pasted the filepath to be helpful.
