Bug#676877: java-package: Putting Jvisualvm in PATH

[mourad]

Package: java-package
Version: 0.50
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Oracle deliver jvisualvm with the official Java.
Make-jpkg works well but jvisualvm is not set into alternatives...

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
The command is not directly available and it have to be found into it real path
(/usr/lib/jvm/j2sdk1.7-oracle/bin/jvisualvm or
/usr/lib/jvm/j2sdk1.6-oracle/bin/jvisualvm)...

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
For convenience, it would be beautiful to have it by default in the PATH
(symbolic link in /usr/bin) as the other Java commands...
The cherry on the cake would be to put an icon into the menu as it does it
under microsoft systems ;)

Best Regards

Mourad
