I had to change "nbplatform.NetBeans_5.5.harness.dir" to  
"nbplatform.default.harness.dir", but after that it worked great,  
thanks!

There were some additional changes I had to make. I had to mark  
certain files as executable (chmod +x):

jswat
jpdalaunch
platform6/lib/nbexec

I also had to edit jswat.conf so that netbeans_jdkhome and  
netbeans_default_userdir pointed to the right place. After that,  
everything seemed to work fine.

Thanks to your help, I was finally able to create a Fink package  
description for JSwat. It should be in the Fink distribution once  
approved by the core developers.
