Uugh!
I cannot switch to Java 9 all of a sudden.
All my own projects are based on Java 8.
I am convinced there are thousands out there in the same situation...

You can use the newer JRE for JOSM only and the older for your projects.

comment:6 by gpermant, 7 years ago

I managed to download and install an early access version of JRE 11 from softfamous.com. That, however, has expired on 16 Nov and I get all sorts of warnings. The JRE does not seem to be generally available yet.

Be that as it may: JOSM now is legible again and can be operated.
Thanks for the hint!
And I will see when there will be an up to date Version of JRE 11.

Wow, be careful. This download looks like crap and could be potentially harmful (infected by virus).

Java is currently going through major changes and we won't advise to download it from Oracle soon. Right now the best way to get Java 11 is either from adoptopenjdk or Azul (Zulu).

I had no problems with it, just the warnings...
anyway, I have since changed to the official Java JDK 11.0.1 from Oracle.
As I am developing in Java too, I will need it.

But now: how do I tell JOSM to use the JRE that came with the JDK 11?
It is now back on Java 8, with fonts illegibly small.

comment:9 by GerdP, 7 years ago

Create a script that sets java_home and the path and start josm from that script.

comment:10 by gpermant, 7 years ago

I just tried to set java_home via environment variables, to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1\bin
But that does not work [immediately], JOSM still has small fonts.

comment:11 by GerdP, 7 years ago

Did you also set path?
Your script might look similar to this:

SETLOCAL
set java_home=%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre-11.0.1
set path=%java_home%\bin;%PATH%
start java.exe -Xmx2G -jar josm-latest.jar %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

comment:12 by gpermant, 7 years ago

I tried with a script josmstart.bat filled with

SETLOCAL
set java_home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1
set path=%java_home%\bin;%PATH%
start java.exe -Xmx2G -jar josm-latest.jar %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

But when starting it from the command line,
I just get a short flashing window, then it returns to the command line.

Isn't there an easier way to choose the necessary java version for JOSM?

comment:13 by GerdP, 7 years ago

Well, this is a bit off topic.
1) make sure that the paths are correct, maybe add the full path to josm-latest.jar
2) for debugging remove the start and add pause as last line

IMHO we should close this bug unless it's confirmed that it can be reproduced with Java>=9.

Resolution: fixed

There were many HIDPI changes over the time. Open new report in case of remaining issues with recent Java version.
