7Installation notes
8------------------
9To run JOSM, you need:
10
11* The JOSM .jar file, e.g., josm-tested.jar or josm-latest.jar
12* Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6, or later.
13
14
15How to get Java Runtime Environment
16-----------------------------------
17You need JRE Version 1.6 (also called Java6), or later.
18
19Microsoft Windows users should visit
20http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
21and download the latest Java6 executable for Windows systems.
22
23Linux users should visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
24There is a Linux binary installer, which you must execute from a console, or
25use the mechanism of your distribution's packaging system.
26
27
28How to launch
29-------------
30Microsoft Windows users launch by double-clicking on the .jar file.
31If this does not work, open a command shell and type
32"java -jar josm-latest.jar" in the directory that holds the file. (Please
33replace josm-latest.jar with the name of your .jar file, if you aren't using
34the latest version.)
35
36Under Linux, open a shell, go to the file directory and type
37"java -jar josm-latest.jar" to launch. If this does not work, try to set
38your JAVA_HOME variable to the java executable location (the root location,
39not the bin).
40
41MacOS users just click on the .jar file icon.

68 - ignoretags.cfg, tagchecker.cfg
69 data files used by the JOSM validator feature
70- data_nodist/ data files that are useful for development, but not distributed

73 (keys: Exif.GPSInfo.GPSImgDirectionRef, Exif.GPSInfo.GPSImgDirection)
74 - filterTests.osm used for unit testing of the filter feature
75 (see test/unit/org/openstreetmap/josm/data/osm/FilterTest.java)

91- josm.jnlp Java Web Start launcher file (used on the website)
92- lib/ libraries (directory is empty at the moment)
93- LICENSE the JOSM license terms
94- macosx/ files needed to create the MacOS package

97- patches/ patches for external libraries used in JOSM (see below)
98- README this file
99- src/ the source code of the program
100- start.html HTML page to run the applet version of JOSM
101- styles/ map styles included in JOSM
102- sytles_nodist/ files needed for map style maintenance
103 - potlatch2/README infos on how to update the Potlatch 2 style from upstream sources

105 - functional/ functional tests (source code)
106 - lib/ libraries needed for (some of) the tests
107 - unit/ unit tests (source code)
108- tools/ libraries and tools that help in the development process
109 - animal-sniffer-ant-tasks-1.7.jar
110 TODO: what is this?
111 - findbugs/ libs and config files for findbugs (automatically detects common bugs and potential
112 problems in source code); can be launched as an ant target in build.xml
113 - javacc.jar used in the build process to generate some .java files from a javacc source file
114 (src/org/openstreetmap/josm/gui/mappaint/mapcss/MapCSSParser.jj)
115 - proguard.jar optimize final binary jar - see build.xml (not used in production so far)
116
117The 'patches' directory
118-----------------------
119Some libraries that JOSM depends on, are patched for various reasons. The files in the patches directory can be used to roll back these customizations. This is useful in order to
120
121 * inspect the changes
122 * update to a newer version of the library but keep the modifications
123
124You can use 'quilt' to manage the patches. E.g. the following command applies all of them:
125
126 $ quilt push -a
127
128Of course, it is also possible to apply the patch files manually one by one.
