Bug Description

visualvm has /usr/bin/jvisualvm file

it's last three lines are

nbexec=`echo "$BASEDIR"/platform*/lib/nbexec`
nbexec=/usr/share/netbeans/platform12/lib/nbexec

eval exec /bin/bash '"$nbexec"' [blah-blah-blah]

it lloks like line with hardcoded "platform12" is useless and was used for debug. But in 12.10 there is no libnb-platform12-java package, there is libnb-platform13-java (and it's a dependency for visualvm). So this hardcoded nbexec file is missing, and visualvm fails to start:

$ jvisualvm
/bin/bash: /usr/share/netbeans/platform12/lib/nbexec: No such file or directory

looks like that line must be removed from script in package

I can confirm that the attached patch allows the program to start. The changes to the configuration file do not apply on a 64-bit machine and are not necessary to allow the program to work.
