Description aditsu 2011-12-01 09:11:50 UTC

I have icedtea-bin-1.10.4 and when I try to run jvisualvm, it says "jvisualvm is not available for icedtea6-bin on x86_64".
A search with e-file seems to indicate that none of the icedtea versions provide this tool. However, http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/VisualVM suggests that it can be built.

Reproducible: Always

i've just copied visualvm ebuilds to the main tree.

Comment 3 aditsu 2012-01-03 17:56:50 UTC

Thanks, I wonder if a binary package could be provided, as visualvm wants to pull 122 packages (almost 600 MB of downloads) on my system, and I don't really want them.

I added Bug 397843 for that request.
