Description
Things are starting to take shape with what comes after Java WebStart (see #16047):
On the current roadmap, the first version will be released end of October. A macro planning for a Java 8 => Java 11 transitions for all JOSM users would roughly look like this:
- September 2019: we start testing OpenWebStart on all platforms. Likely we'll found a lot of bugs
- November 2019 : first OpenWebStart version. Unlikely to fix all bugs we'll find
- Somewhere in 2020: OpenWebStart version without any bug impacting us, we start asking everyone to switch
- End of 2020: End of Java WebStart support by Oracle for Java 8. We force everyone to switch
- Somewhere in 2021: Enough JOSM users have switched to OpenWebStart so we can consider moving the codebase to Java 11.
