[[TranslatedPages]] [[TOC(inline)]] == Semi-Stable Version == The latest semi-stable version is always here: [http://josm.openstreetmap.de/josm-tested.jar] - we don't call it a "release" because while it is more robust than the nightly build, it doesn't usually run through as many checks as a release would. == Nightly Builds == You can always grab the latest nightly build from [http://josm.openstreetmap.de/josm-latest.jar]. Many users actually use this for their daily work. == Running == A working Java Runtime Environment version 6.0 or newer is needed to run JOSM. === Microsoft Windows === Double click on the jar file. If this does not work, you probably need to install the [http://java.com/download/index.jsp Java Runtime] In more extensive edit sessions, you may get an "out of memory" error. To avoid this, the assigned memory can be increased.[[BR]] Create a shortcut like in the following example: {{{ C:\WINNT\system32\java.exe -jar -Xmx512M "C:\PATH-TO-JOSM\josm-latest.jar" }}} === Linux / *BSD === **packages**:: In some Distributions prepacked packages exist to install JOSM with your favourite package manager from the repositories. Although these packages might be a bit older than the .jar files on the main page, they usually fit better into the environment and install dependencies and a starter in the menu automatically. **Note**: There is no problem with installing the prepacked package and still using the .jar files listed above. If there exists no package or you do not want to use it you can download the JOSM .jar file from the main page (tested or latest version) or build it from source. '''using the shell''':: Go to the directory where the josm-latest.jar is and type {{{ #!sh java -jar josm-latest.jar }}} to launch. Replace `''josm-latest.jar''` with the name of the jar file you loaded, e.G. `josm.jar` for releases. If this doesn't help, try to set your JAVA_HOME variable to the java location (the root location, not the bin. As example: {{{ #!sh export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/sun-j2se6.0-jdk java -jar ''josm.jar'' }}} '''KDE''':: There is a [http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/tutorials/setting_up_kde.avi tutorial] on how to setup your environment to start jar-files by clicking on them. '''GNOME''':: Right click on the JAR file, and select __O__pen with "Sun Java 6.0 Runtime", or whatever java version you have. '''XGL/Compiz''':: Type this into a shell: {{{ #!sh export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit && java -jar josm-test.jar }}} as described here: http://kubasik.net/blog/index.php/2006/06/19/java-sun-150-and-xglcompiz-on-ubuntu/ '''Blank window on startup''':: AWT before JDK7 [http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6574362 doesn't play well] with non-reparenting window managers (i.e. xmonad, awesome, dwm, ratpoison, Ion3, ...), resulting in the main window not being displayed properly on startup. The Awesome Wiki has [http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java workarounds] for this problem. There is also an [http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-SetWMName.html xmonad specific] way of doing the wmname thing. === MacOS === 1. If you have downloaded "josm-latest.jar" you can start JOSM by clicking on the josm-latest.jar file in the MacOS Finder (you might get the warning that you are about to open a file from the internet - just accept). This way to start JOSM should be sufficient in most cases. 2. However, if you need to start it up with additional Java parameter(s) (e.g. -Xmx512M) you can also use the MacOS "Terminal" and start JOSM (Java) manually: Start the "Terminal" application (e.g. by typing "Terminal" into the Spotlight search) * Now you have two options: * type in the following command and press "Enter" to start JOSM without any special java options (simply starts up JOSM like under point 1): {{{ java -jar FOLDER/josm-latest.jar }}} Whereas "FOLDER" should be replaced by the name of the folder you have josm-latest.jar downloaded to. If you have downloaded it to the standard MacOS "Downloads" Folder it would look like: {{{ java -jar Downloads/josm-latest.jar }}} * to use additional java options just add them right after "java" If you for example have experienced the "Out of memory" warning (e.g. trying to load geo-tagged photos to JOSM) you would start JOSM like this: {{{ java -Xmx256M -jar FOLDER/josm-latest.jar }}} This would allow JOSM to use up to 256 MB of RAM (memory). The java option "-Xmx256M" set's the maximum Java heap size to 265 MB. You are free to replace -Xmx256M by any number appropriate for your system (e.g. -Xmx512M or even -Xmx1024M). By the way. To get an overview of all Java start options you can type in: {{{ java -help }}} == Getting the Source == JOSM is available under GPL, and so of course you can get the sources and compile, modify or redistribute it by yourself. You can grab the sources via [http://subversion.tigris.org subversion] svn co http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk josm Or you can inspect single files over the web frontend at http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn. == Compiling == === Using ant === The easiest way to compile JOSM provided Java on your machine is properly set up is to go to the josm directory and type: {{{ ant }}} That will create a `dist/josm-custom.jar` file if successful. === Using eclipse === Use eclipse and the provided `.project` and `.classpath` file. Just add a new Java Project using the JOSM source folder as existing path. As of Eclipse 3.5.2 and the latest JOSM (August 10, 2011), you will have problems compiling, due to problems compiling Mappaint MapCSS with a fresh install of Eclipse. First you will need the [http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/JavaCC-FAQ/javacc-faq-moz.htm JavaCC] [http://eclipse-javacc.sourceforge.net/ plugin for Eclipse]. To install it in Eclipse, go to Help->New Software... then add the site [http://eclipse-javacc.sourceforge.net/] as a source, and install the JavaCC Eclipse Plug-in. Then in the Package Explorer, expand org.osm.josm.gui.mappaint.mapcss, right-click on MapCSSParser.jj, and "Compile with JavaCC". This should put new java files in a package called org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.mappaint.mapcss.parsergen, but if it doesn't, you will have to create the package manually (right-click and create package), then drag the new files into the package you just created (they should be easy to identify based on the light gray text that denotes it was compiled from MapCSSParser.jj). This should resolve any import issues in MapCSSStyleSource.java, and you should now be able to compile JOSM. If you try to compile the JOSM sources in Eclipse and get errors like "The method marktr(String) is undefined for the type SomeType" look at [http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/josm-dev/2008-August/001585.html solution suggested at mailing list]. There are also two Videos available at youtube, which show [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LoWGf-hqiQ how to checkout JOSM into Eclipse] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3OjG3nDvzA how to checkout a JOSM plugin into Eclipse]. === Using javac === You can also build josm without ant or eclipse. To do so, call `javac` on the file `org/openstreetmap/josm/gui/MainApplication.java` with all libs from `../lib/*.jar` in your classpath (you have to specify all subsequent). If running Linux, this would look like that: * Check out the sources {{{ $ svn co http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk josm ''tons of output here'' $ cd josm/ $ mkdir build }}} * Compile and run {{{ $ javac -cp .:src -d build src/org/openstreetmap/josm/gui/MainApplication.java $ java -cp .:build org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.MainApplication }}} == Unit Tests == It is most convenient, to run tests from an IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans. There is also an ant task to run all tests (but you cannot rerun individual tests). === Running Test from Command line === You can run tests from the command line, as well. Include all libraries in the class path like this: {{{ export TESTCP=".:test/unit:test/functional:dist/josm-custom.jar:test/lib/fest/fest-assert-1.0.jar:test/lib/fest/MRJToolkitStubs-1.0.jar:test/lib/fest/jcip-annotations-1.0.jar:test/lib/fest/fest-swing-1.1.jar:test/lib/fest/fest-reflect-1.1.jar:test/lib/fest/fest-util-1.0.jar:test/lib/fest/debug-1.0.jar:test/lib/junit/junit-4.6.jar:test/lib/jfcunit.jar:test/lib/unitils-core/ognl-2.6.9.jar:test/lib/unitils-core/commons-lang-2.3.jar:test/lib/unitils-core/unitils-core-3.1.jar:test/lib/unitils-core/junit-4.4.jar:test/lib/unitils-core/commons-logging-1.1.jar:test/lib/unitils-core/commons-collections-3.2.jar" }}} Then run for example {{{ javac -cp $TESTCP test/unit/org/openstreetmap/josm/data/projection/ProjectionRefTest.java java -cp $TESTCP org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.openstreetmap.josm.data.projection.ProjectionRefTest }}} == See also == [wiki:HowTo/JOSM-under-Linux HowTo JOSM-under-Linux]
