Description
When starting the current JOSM.app version (5939) on MacOS X 10.8, the splash screen shows a warning that JOSM will soon stop to work with Java 6. After removing Java 6 from MacOS X and installing Java 7, JOSM.app will not run anymore. Instead, a request to install Java 6 is shown. Manually running "josm-tested.jar" from a command line in Terminal still works with Java 7.

A quick and dirty version is to execute the jar direct via
e.g.
java -jar /Applications/JOSM.app/Contents/Resources/Java/josm-snapshot-5315.jar
I don't know if the java apps are supported any longer or if the java 7 integration in Mac OS X 10.8 provided by Oracle does get better...
Just in short: JOSM works a bit slower in Java 7 under Mac OS X 10.8, but it works. It just lacks of integration into .app files.
