+Every [/roadmap month] the team of JOSM [wiki:Releases releases] a ''tested version''.
+It is the base for the MS Windows portable variant and for the Apple Mac variant.
+When you click to launch josm.jnlp, Java's [wiki:InstallNotes#Webstart Web Start] provides you always with the newest tested version of JOSM.
+Every [/log/josm/?verbose=on&limit=20 night] the build systems generate a ''latest version''.
+These versions might have severe errors or even crash. But mostly they work well, too.
+For the latest version is also a Web Start variant available.

+=== latest or tested or webstart ===
+* ''tested'' - [wiki:Releases released approx. monthly and shouldn't contain severe bugs]
+* ''latest'' (development version) - [wiki:Releases released daily, may have more errors]
+* ''.jnlp link'' - If possible, use the Web Start version in order to '''automatically update'''.
+ * Prepare a [wiki:USB_Stick USB flash drive] to use JOSM on any foreign Windows machine.
+ * For download scripts use version check for [/latest latest] and [/tested tested] (or [/version both]) to reduce download bandwith
+=== openSUSE repository ===#openSUSE
+When running scripts please first check on [/latest latest], [/tested tested] or [/version both] to reduce download bandwidth.
+==== Strip translations ====
+If download size is an issue for you:
+ * 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).
+ * **Note**: Use underscore to separate [[Translations|language codes]] with country code extensions, e.g. **?lang=en_GB**
+ * Append **?unsigned=1** to strip the code signing information
+ * When **lang** and **unsigned** are used the separation is a **&** sign like in **?lang=de&unsigned=1**
+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).
+== Repositories ==
+=== openSUSE  ===#openSUSE
 Tested version of JOSM is available in the Application:Geo repository.
 …
 Then simply install **josm** and **josm-fonts** package.
 === Ubuntu repository ===#Ubuntu
+=== Ubuntu ===#Ubuntu
 This is a package repository primarily for Ubuntu. It should also work with other Debian based (especially Ubuntu based) distributions, but we do not actively test and maintain any distributions other than Ubuntu.

 Note: in addition to the regular procedure described below, older DEBs can be manually downloaded and clicked to be installed from the following directories:   [https://josm.openstreetmap.de/apt/pool/universe/j/josm/ for josm]  [https://josm.openstreetmap.de/apt/pool/universe/j/josm-latest/ for josm-latest]

 ==== Double click on a file does nothing ====
 In most cases this means Java (JVM) wasn't installed. JOSM is tested and developed with Oracle JVM, therefore it is recommended to get it from java.com site.
+* https://www.java.com/en/download/ - main resource, usually Installation process goes without any problems
+* https://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.xml - additional steps for all systems
+* https://www.java.com/en/download/help/index_installing.xml?os=All+Platforms&j=8&n=20 - please narrow down your question at their help portal about questions during installation
 If at least one Java was installed, refer to pages:

+* https://www.java.com/en/download/help/ - this page contains "Top 8 Java Issues", one of them may be yours
 ==== Strip down unnecessary translations in .jar ====
+If download size is an issue for you:
+ * Append **?lang=…** to the download link address for both releases to strip unused translations (e.g. **?lang=de** will download JOSM in German language only).
+ * **Note**: Use underscore to separate [[Translations|language codes]] with country code extensions, e.g. **?lang=en_GB**
+ * Append **?unsigned=1** to strip the code signing information
+ * When **lang** and **unsigned** are used the separation is a **&** sign like in **?lang=de&unsigned=1**

+==== Double click does nothing ====#Doubleclickonafiledoesnothing
+In most cases this means Java wasn't installed.
+JOSM is tested and developed with Oracle JVM, therefore we recommend to get it from their [https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp manual Java download site].
+Keep your systems architecture (32 bit or 64 bit) in mind when choosing the installation. Java 64 bit is recommended for JOSM.
+Note that ''Java'' is the common name for a product now called ''Java Runtime Environment'' or short ''JRE''.
+In former years slightly different names were used.
+Please avoid the page java.com/en/download because it has an automatic detection that can mislead you.
+You do **not** need a Java-Plugin for your web browser to work with JOSM.
+If you still can't download or install Java, visit [https://www.java.com/en/download/help/troubleshoot_java.xml Oracles troubleshoot] page for more information.
+==== [Java Test] ====
+Checks to see why JOSM is not starting on a system, examples are for MS Windows.
+. Download [/josm-tested.jar josm-tested.jar] to your desktop.
+. Open a Command Prompt aka Terminal
+. Type `cd %homepath%\desktop ⏎`
+. Type `java -version ⏎`
+. Now you should see three lines with Javas version data. If you see any other message, Java is not properly working on your machine.
+. Type `java -jar josm-tested.jar ⏎`
+. Now you should see JOSM starting up.
+=== Troubleshooting jnlp link ===#Troubleshootingjhlplink

+Launching JOSM via Web Start has many more possible error causes than the step-by-step way with first downloading a jar file and then running it. So please work the check

 ==== Out of memory ====
 …
 To avoid this, the assigned memory can be increased with {{{-Xmx}}} option, see [[Help/CommandLineOptions]] for details.
+==== VM selection on Windows x64 ====
+For Windows, beware that some browsers may install their own JRE only in 32 bit mode, but may also install their version of the Javawebstart tool somewhere else with different file associations. This may cause your JNLP to start with this alternate JRE because it runs the wrong version of Javawebstart which only supports the 32 bit VM, and sometimes is built with a restricted support for VM options and a max VM size not exceeding 256MB.
+==== VM selection ====#VMselectiononWindowsx64
+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`.
+The three paragaphes below deal with older versions of Windows and Java.
+For Windows 64-Bit, beware that some browsers may install only a JRE 32 bit mode, but may also install their version of the Javawebstart tool somewhere else with different file associations. This may cause your JNLP to start with this alternate JRE because it runs the wrong version of Javawebstart which only supports the 32 bit VM, and sometimes is built with a restricted support for VM options and a max VM size not exceeding 256MB.
 Check, for example, if there's no other javawebstart in {{{\Windows\SysWow64}}}. You should not need it (the Java control panel will not detect it) and can safely delete it. Perfom cleanup and only keep the latest version of the JRE (1 for the 32-bit mode, another one for the 64-bit mode).

 You don't need to change the end of the command line with the snipped parts here. Just check the path for {{{javaws.exe}}} and add options {{{-J-d64}}} for the 64-bit mode needed to work with large OSM datasets, and {{{-Xmx=2048m}}} to increase the VM size (to 2GB here).

 If you get an error saying "'JOSM.app' is an application downloaded from the internet." you can bypass this by **right-clicking on JOSM.app** or josm.jnlp and selecting 'open'. You should then see the same message but this time with an option to "Open" regardless. This is only necessary on the first run of JOSM.
