-As other osm related applications like osmarender and mapnik have a lot more

-is currently installed "the easy way".
+Currently josm, the Java runtime and JavaFX are included in the installer.

 ------------------------
 The installer will currently add:
-- josm into "C:\Program Files\JOSM" (or the corresponding international dir)
-- josm icons to the desktop and quick launch bar
-- josm file associations to .osm and .gpx files
-- some assorted plugins (more to follow?)
-- default preferences to the current user profile (if not already existing)
+- josm and java/javafx runtime into "%CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA%\JOSM" (or the directory chosen by user)
+- josm icons to the desktop
+- josm file associations
 
-When the installed josm.exe is executed, it should ask the user to download 
-Java runtime if it's not already installed.
 
 build the installer
 -------------------
-1.) You will need to download and install the following on your machine:
-- cygwin bash and wget
-- launch4j - http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/ (currently 3.6, older 2.x will NOT work!)
-- NSIS - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ (any recent version should do)
+1.) You will need to download JavaFX modules from:
+- https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/
 
-2.) Edit the two absolute paths in the file josm-setup-unix.sh (in the calls 
-to launch4jc and makensis)
+2.) Extract the modules to %JAVA_HOME%/jmods
 
-3.) Start a cygwin shell and call ./josm-setup-unix.sh
+3.) Start a cygwin shell and call ./native/windows/win-jpackage.sh
 
-how the installer is build
+4.) The JOSM.exe and JOSM.msi files can then be found in ./app/
+
+how the installer is built
 --------------------------
-First, wget will download the required files (e.g. the josm plugins) into the 
-downloads subdir. Then jaunch4j wraps the josm.jar into a josm.exe, which 
-makes registration of file extensions a lot easier. Then NSIS is called to 
-create the actual josm-setup-latest.exe.
+See jpackage documentation to understand what it does and how it works:
+- https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/jpackage/preface.html
 
 known issues
 ------------
-- absolute paths in josm-setup-unix.sh
-- josm should support "global settings" instead of only the personal profile
-- install all josm plugins by default and only enable them according to user wishes?
+- no translation
 
 build the installer under Linux / Debian
 ----------------------------------------
-It's possible to build the installer under Linux. Beside the things mentioned above, 
-the NSIS Debian package currently has an incomplete System.dll (in the plugins directory).
-This dll needs to be replaced by the System.dll included in the NSIS zip package, e.g. from
-http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Development_Files.
-More details can be found in the following NSIS forum thread:
-http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=bb7fa5bf8173e31c05e083340ca2c242&postid=2211132 
+It's likely not possible to build the installer under Linux because of the WiX transitive dependency.
