[Mark Carroll]

Package: visualvm
Version: 1.3.9-1
Followup-For: Bug #863337

Dear Maintainer,

I am also seeing this issue:

$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_171"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-8u171-b11-1~deb9u1-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)
$ visualvm
Unknown option -L-XX:PermSize=32m
$ grep -r PermSize ~/.visualvm /etc/visualvm/visualvm.conf 
/usr/lib/jvm/*/lib/visualvm/etc/visualvm.conf
$ 

All the best,
Mark

This was changed by upstream in the latest version:

  https://github.com/visualvm/visualvm/commit/d6026fc5

These options are passed to nbexec, and the -L flag stands for "Launcher
options". So I'm not convinced this is a typo. See:


http://sources.debian.net/src/netbeans/8.1%2Bdfsg3-2/o.n.bootstrap/launcher/unix/nbexec/?hl=99#L143

If this really causes a problem on your system I suggest reporting this
to upstream. If they confirm the error we'll backport the fix.

Hi,
I will try to double-check this, but I'm constantly short on time these
days.
I didn't modify visualvm.conf

But by any means, by looking at the source don't you think it should be -J
rather than -L?

Even if e.g. the bug only appears because Java 9 fails to start with -L,
whereas maybe java 8 maybe silently ignored them?

To me, these appear to be obvious typos; independent of whether you can
reproduce them, or not...

Regards,
Erich

Hello Erich,

Just as Chris reported, I am also unable to reproduce this behavior on
my stretch or sid systems.  I notice that you have openjdk-9-jdk
installed.  Is it possible that a Java 9 JRE is on your path and being
invoked?  In any event, I'm tagging this +moreinfo.  Please share more
information about your configuration when you can.

Thank you,
tony

Hey Erich,

> visualvm: Typos in launcher script - does not start anymore

I can't seem to reproduce this on a fresh stretch or sid chroot. Can you
paste your /etc/visualvm/visualvm.conf? Is this an upgrade? My chroots
seem to be using OpenJDK if that helps.

Bug#863337: visualvm: Typos in launcher script - does not start anymore

[Erich Schubert]

Package: visualvm
Version: 1.3.9-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

visualvm does not start anymore with the error:
Unknown option -L-XX:PermSize=32m

This is caused by a trivial typo in the start script, which supposedly
should use -J (like "Java options") instead of -L (two locations):

visualvm_default_options="-L-XX:PermSize=32m ${visualvm_default_options}"

should likely be

visualvm_default_options="-J-XX:PermSize=32m ${visualvm_default_options}"

In particular, note that the if statement reads 'if grep -v -- 
"-J-XX:MaxPermSize"'
