Description Mat Booth 2010-04-08 09:15:48 UTC

After upgrading to F13, JVisualVM no longer launches from the link in the applications menu. (The menu item Applications->Programming->VisualVM.)

When launched from the terminal, I see this:

[mbooth@su6951 ~]$ jvisualvm 
/bin/bash: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/../lib/visualvm//platform*/lib/nbexec: No such file or directory

I have this version installed:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.i686   1:1.6.0.0-36.b17.fc12

Also it might be worth noting that /etc/alternatives/jvisualvm and /usr/bin/jvisualvm are not owned by any package on my system.

Comment 1 Mat Booth 2010-04-08 09:41:20 UTC

It is caused by Netbeans being upgraded to platform11, because VisualVM has a broken symlink to platform10 in its directory.

Doing the following fixed it for me:

cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/visualvm
su -c 'rm -rf platform10'
su -c 'ln -s /usr/share/netbeans/platform11/ .'
