JOSM does not use selected openjdk 7

[A_Pirard]

Because of JOSM startup warning, I have installed openjdk-7-jre and openjdk-7-jre-headless.
And I have selected openjdk 7

$ update-java-alternatives -l
java-1.6.0-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
java-7-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk
$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-7-openjdk
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_117-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 1.14-pre) (7~b117~pre1-0lucid1)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 20.0-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

But JOSM uses openjdk 6 instead.

$ josm
Using /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java to execute josm.

So, I ran the josm script wit a -x and here it goes...

$ ./josm

@team: I have updated "josm" and 'josm-latest" scripts to fix this issue but don't know what to do next to update packages ?

See apt-source/README. Also, better keep the /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/bin/java entry in addition to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-$ARCH/bin/java (for older Ubuntu versions).

Replying to bastiK:

See apt-source/README. Also, better keep the /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/bin/java entry in addition to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-$ARCH/bin/java (for older Ubuntu versions).

@Don-vip: the fix was good, I didn't read the diff properly.

It works. Thanks.
