Description
- The links in the README file for obtaining Java Runtime Environment are old; sun.com has been absorbed into oracle.com.
- Various style, grammar, punctuation and syntax corrections needed.
CURRENT TEXT: (as of version 4597)
This is a readme.txt to the Java OpenStreetMap Editor Install Notes ------------- To run JOSM, you need: * The jar file (e.g. josm.jar) * The latest Java Runtime Environment 1.6. How to get Java --------------- You need at least Version 1.6 (called Java6). Microsoft Windows people should just visit java.sun.com and download the latest Java6 executable. To get Java under linux, either download the environment directly from Sun at http://java.sun.com (there is a linux binary installer which you have to execute from a console) or use the mechanisms of your distributions packaging system. How to launch ------------- Microsoft Windows people launch by double clicking on the jar file. If this does not help, open a command shell and type "java -jar josm-latest.jar" in the directory that holds the file. (Please replace josm-latest.jar with the name of your jar file, if you don't used the latest version.) Under Linux open a shell, go to the file directory and type "java -jar josm-latest.jar" to launch. If this don't help, try to set your JAVA_HOME variable to the java location (the root location, not the bin) MacOS people just click on the jar-file. How to get the Source --------------------- Download it directly from the subversion at https://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk. To use the command line subverion client, type svn co https://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk
