JavaWS does not work

[anonymous]

If I start JOSM by "javaws ​http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm.jnlp", I get the following exception:
net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Launch Error: Could not launch JNLP file.

at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.launchApplication(Launcher.java:395)
at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher$TgThread.run(Launcher.java:623)

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: JOSM.main([Ljava.lang.String;)

This error can be resolved by changing one line in the josm.jnlp file:
Change:
<application-desc main-class="JOSM"/>
into:
<application-desc main-class="org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.MainApplication"/>
I don't have an svn account for josm, so can somebody change this for me?

Used openJDK 1.6.0_0 (64 bits) on linux.

AFAIK, josm.jnlp wasn't in the SVN yet. I've added it in r1931 but I didn't apply the suggested changes yet. Somebody with access to ​http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download will have to do it and test it.

I don't see the sense in this change. JOSM has a wrapper class JOSM. And the webstart works also. I assume the bug reporter did somehow compile an own version which missed the JOSM wrapper.

The wrapper is used to have clean program name on some systems.

What information, other than the error trace, the way I invoked javaws and my Java version, do you want to know?

Maybe that it runs with other Java implementations like the Windows version or the SUN release, but not with the linux version of OpenJDK 1.6.0.
