| 45 | | ==== Strip translations ==== |
| 46 | | |
| 47 | | If download size is an issue for you: |
| 48 | | * Append **?lang=…** to the download link address for the tested version to strip unused translations (e.g. **?lang=de** will download JOSM in German language only). |
| 49 | | * **Note**: Use underscore to separate [[Translations|language codes]] with country code extensions, e.g. **?lang=en_GB** |
| 50 | | * Append **?unsigned=1** to strip the code signing information |
| 51 | | * When **lang** and **unsigned** are used the separation is a **&** sign like in **?lang=de&unsigned=1** |
| 52 | | |
| 53 | | The file size shrinks from .jar: 10.2M over .jar?lang=de: 8.2M to .jar?lang=de&unsigned=1: 7.7M (as of version 10786). |

| | 144 | |
| | 145 | The tested version of [https://packages.debian.org/stable/josm JOSM] is available under **''main''** in section **''utils''**, but the version is usually quite old. \\ |
| | 146 | Please, use the [https://backports.debian.org backports repository] to get a more up-to-date version, see [https://backports.debian.org/Instructions Instructions]. This version might still be older than our own packages. |
| | 147 | |
| | 148 | Since Debian 11 (bullseye) the [https://packages.debian.org/stable/josm-installer josm-installer] is available under **''main''** in section **''utils''**. It downloads the current .jar file from this site and updates it if necessary. |

| | 160 | |
| | 161 | == Troubleshooting == |
| | 162 | === Java ===#Java |
| | 163 | When you double-click on a jar file and nothing happens in most cases this means Java isn't installed. |
| | 164 | |
| | 165 | JOSM now recommends [https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-21-lts&package=jdk-fx#zulu Azul] or [https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/?package=jre-full#mn Bellsoft Liberica] JDK's. Generally speaking, the current Java LTS should be preferred (at time of writing, that would be Java 17), but Java 11 will work. See the [source:/trunk/README README] for current recommendations. But first give the Java already distributed with the operating system a try, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK for example]. |
| | 166 | |
| | 167 | |
| | 168 | When choosing a download keep in mind: |
| | 169 | * A Java Plug-in for web browsers is **not** needed to run JOSM. Therefore results from pages like www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp are not relevant. |
| | 170 | * A Java variant with 64 bit is recommended for JOSM. The operating systems architecture is important for deciding between 32 bit Java or 64 bit Java. Because JOSM is **not** affected by the web browsers architecture most recommendations on this page www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml are not relevant. |
| | 171 | * Avoid pages like www.java.com/en/download which intent to place Java Plug-ins in web browsers. And this is **not** important for JOSM. |
| | 172 | |
| | 173 | For further information visit the [InstallNotes Installation Notes] and [https://www.java.com/en/download/help/troubleshoot_java.xml troubleshooting] pages. |
| | 174 | ''Java'' in this section means a JRE (Java Runtime Engine) which provides a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to run JOSM, a Java program that is developed using JDK (Java Development Kit) and sometimes launched with the JNLP (Java Network Launch Protocol aka Web Start and successor of Java Plug-ins). |
| | 175 | |
| | 176 | ==== Testing Java ====#JavaTest |
| | 177 | [=#Troubleshootingjarfile] Checks if Java is installed and why JOSM does not start (example mainly for MS Windows). |
| | 178 | 1. Download [/josm-tested.jar josm-tested.jar] to your desktop. |
| | 179 | 1. Open a Command Prompt aka Terminal |
| | 180 | 1. Type `cd %homepath%`⏎ and type `cd Desktop`⏎ |
| | 181 | 1. Type `java -version `⏎ Three lines with the version data should appear. If you see something else then Java is not properly installed. |
| | 182 | 1. Type `java -jar josm-tested.jar`⏎. Now JOSM should run, started from the [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions Command Line]. |
| | 183 | 1. Quit JOSM. |
| | 184 | 1. Type `josm-tested.jar`⏎. If JOSM starts again, the Windows Explorer is ready for double clicks on jar files. |
| | 185 | |
| | 186 | |
| | 187 | === Web Start ===#Webstart |
| | 188 | [=#Troubleshootingjhlplink] |
| | 189 | You need to install [https://openwebstart.com/ OpenWebStart] first. It will download and run Java by itself. Please use the 64 bit (`x64`) version of OpenWebStart if you are on Microsoft Windows. The transition from Oracle WebStart to OpenWebStart is still in progress, so in case of issue please create a [/newticket new ticket] or post a comment to #17858. |
| | 190 | |
| | 191 | You may need to update the default application for opening JNLP files if you previously used Oracle WebStart. See [https://openwebstart.com/docs/OWSGuide.html#_jnlp_file_association jnlp file association] for instructions on setting OpenWebStart as the default program for jnlp files. |
| | 192 | |
| | 193 | ==== Testing Web Start ====#Webstarttest |
| | 194 | 1. Download [/download/josm.jnlp josm.jnlp] to your desktop. |
| | 195 | 1. Open a Terminal and move to the Desktop as above |
| | 196 | 1. Type `javaws josm.jnlp`⏎. This should initially download JOSM, show a security dialog and then launch JOSM. |
| | 197 | 1. If that fails, then type `javaws -verbose josm.jnlp`⏎. This should first show a dialog with information about the JVM and then launch JOSM. |
| | 198 | |
| | 199 | |
| | 200 | === Virtual Machine ===#Troubleshootingjvm |
| | 201 | ==== Out of memory ==== |
| | 202 | Nowadays manually controlling Javas memory is seldom needed because available RAM on computers has grown. |
| | 203 | Wrongly chosen values can decrease JOSM performance. |
| | 204 | |
| | 205 | For some tasks, JOSM has a large appetite for memory. On the one hand, it may be necessary to configure a memory size that supports more plugins and features. On the other hand can slow machines be stabilized by restricting Javas memory use. |
| | 206 | If needed, use the [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions command line] to set the [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/java.html#GUID-3B1CE181-CD30-4178-9602-230B800D4FAE__BABHDABI Java Option] -Xmx…m, for example `-Xmx512m` or `-Xmx1536m`. In Debian/Ubuntu you can edit the file `/etc/default/josm` respectively `/etc/default/josm-latest`. \\ |
| | 207 | Formerly older java programs accepted `-Xmx=512m` or even `-Xmx 512m`. Now those malformed arguments throw error messages. |
| | 208 | |
| | 209 | ==== VM selection ====#VMselectiononWindowsx64 |
| | 210 | On current versions of MS Windows by default Java is installed mainly in the `C:\Program Files\Java\` directory. Additional parts are placed in `C:\Program Files\Oracle\Java\`. There is a `.\javapath\` directory as target for the PATH environment variable. It is the home for the three virtual files `java.exe`, `javaw.exe` and `javaws.exe`. This files are symbolic links form the current Java installations. |
| | 211 | |
| | 212 | On older versions of 64 bit Windows sometimes the 32 bit mode JRE was additionally installed. Also some browsers brought their own JVM with limited capabilities. In those cases a Web Start from the browser would not use your Java installation but that from the browser. |
| | 213 | |
| | 214 | Check that there's no other javawebstart in `\Windows\SysWow64`. The Java control panel will not detect it and you can safely delete it. Perform cleanup and only keep the latest versions of each JRE (One or the 32-bit mode, another one for the 64-bit mode). |
| | 215 | |
| | 216 | For shortcuts created on the desktop for JNLP and running the Javawebstart launcher , make sure to pass VM parameters prefixed with -J and no intermediate space before the VM option. If you have installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit version, you should pass the option "`-d64`" if you want to select the preferred 64-bit VM. Note that some Oracle documentation pages indicate the option "-D64" with the incorrect capitalization!) |

| 149 | | [=#Doubleclickonafiledoesnothing] |
| 150 | | When you double-click on a jar file and nothing happens in most cases this means Java isn't installed. |
| 151 | | |
| 152 | | JOSM is tested and developed with Oracle JVM, therefore we recommend to get Java from their [https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp manual download] site. |
| 153 | | Mind yoursystems architecture (32 or 64 bit) when [https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml choosing] the installation. Java 64 bit is recommended for JOSM. |
| 154 | | ''Java'' is the common name for a product called ''Java Runtime Environment'' now or short ''JRE''. |
| 155 | | Formerly other names were used. |
| 156 | | Please avoid the page java.com/en/download because it tries to automatically detect your system architecture but fails much to often for being a real help. |
| 157 | | You do **not** need a Java-Plugin for your web browser to work with JOSM. |

| 176 | | |
| 177 | | ==== Web Start Test ==== |
| 178 | | 1. Download [/josm-tested.jar josm.jnlp] to your desktop. |
| 179 | | 1. Open a Terminal and move to the Desktop as above |
| 180 | | 1. Type `javaws josm.jnlp`⏎. This should initially download JOSM, serve a security dialog and then launch JOSM. |
| 181 | | |

| 185 | | ==== Out of memory ==== |
| 186 | | |
| 187 | | For some tasks, JOSM has a large appetite for memory. On the one hand, it may be necessary to configure an [[[Help/CommandLineOptions]] -Xmx memory size] that supports more JOSM plugins and other JOSM editing features. On the other hand, slow with few memory resources, can be stabilized by restricting JOSM memory use. for example `-Xmx256m` or `-Xmx1536m`. |
| 188 | | |
| 189 | | To avoid this, the assigned memory can be increased with {{{-Xmx}}} option, see [[Help/CommandLineOptions]] for details. |
| 190 | | |
| 191 | | ==== VM selection ====#VMselectiononWindowsx64 |
| 192 | | |
| 193 | | On current versions of MS Windows by default Java is installed mainly in the `C:\Program Files\Java\` directory. Additional parts are placed in `C:\Program Files\Oracle\Java\`. There `.\javapath\` is the target for the PATH environment variable and virtual home for the three files `java.exe`, `javaw.exe` and `javaws.exe`. |
| 194 | | |
| 195 | | On older versions of 64 bit Windows sometimes the 32 bit mode JRE was additionally installed. Also some browsers brought their own JVM with limited capabilities. In those cases a Web Start from the browser would not use your Java installation but that from the browser. |
| 196 | | |
| 197 | | Check that there's no other javawebstart in {{{\Windows\SysWow64}}}. The Java control panel will not detect it and you can safely delete it. Perfom cleanup and only keep the latest versions of each JRE (One or the 32-bit mode, another one for the 64-bit mode). |
| 198 | | |
| 199 | | For shortcuts created on the desktop for JNLP and running the Javawebstart launcher , make sure to pass VM parameters prefixed with -J and no intermediate space before the VM option. If you have installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit version, you should pass the option "{{{-d64}}}" if you want to select the preferred 64-bit VM. Note that some Oracle documentation pages indicate the option "-D64" with the incorrect capitalization!) |
| 200 | | |
| 201 | | Example of an edited commandline for the shortcut created on the windows desktop after running JOSM just once from the JNMP and exiting: |
| 202 | | {{{ |
| 203 | | #!sh |
| 204 | | <path>javaws.exe -J-d64 -J-Xmx2048m localfile |
| 205 | | -J-Djnlp.application.href=https://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm.jnlp |
| 206 | | "C:\Users\<name>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\21\7311<snipped-hex-number>7f8" |
| 207 | | }}} |

| | 242 | josm.exe https://www.osm.org/way/476702262 |
| | 243 | }}} |
| | 244 | |
| | 245 | For giving [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions#Javaoptions Java options] to the Java VM, JOSM.exe uses the configuration file `JOSM.cfg` in its app sub-directory. In this file, each option must be on a separate line. |
| | 246 | |
| | 247 | For example, to change memory allocation, open `%LOCALAPPDATA%\JOSM\app\JOSM.cfg` and add `java-options=-Xmx8192m` (for 8 GB) to a new line under the `[JavaOptions]` header. |
| | 248 | |
| | 249 | ==== Graphics ====#MicrosoftWindowsGraphics |
| | 250 | Some Windows installations have graphics driver issues (see #23784 for an example). This may exhibit symptoms such as: |
| | 251 | * Black bars in JOSM toolbars |
| | 252 | * Flickering |
| | 253 | * Other unexpected user interface issues |
| | 254 | |
| | 255 | 1. Download and install Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU, [https://github.com/Wagnard/display-drivers-uninstaller source]) from the official mirror => https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-DDU- |
| | 256 | 2. From the "Device Type" drop-down on the right, select "GPU". DDU will automatically detect the GPU you're using. |
| | 257 | 3. Click on "Clean and Restart" at the top. This will uninstall the graphics drivers and restart your PC. |
| | 258 | 4. Reinstall the drivers. |
| | 259 | |
| | 260 | //**WARNING: Create a backup of your PC before using DDU. Although it creates a recovery point by itself, it's ideal to make one yourself just in case.**// |
