     20Every [/roadmap month] the team of JOSM [wiki:Releases releases] a **tested version** for download.
    2121The MS Windows and Apple Mac variants are built on this tested version.
    2222When you click on josm.jnlp to launch JOSM you will always get the newest tested version. Java's [wiki:InstallNotes#Webstart Web Start] is the mechanism behind this.

    45 ==== Strip translations ====
    46 
    47 If download size is an issue for you:
    48  * Append **?lang=…** to the download link address for the tested version to strip unused translations (e.g. **?lang=de** will download JOSM in German language only).
    49  * **Note**: Use underscore to separate [[Translations|language codes]] with country code extensions, e.g. **?lang=en_GB**
    50  * Append **?unsigned=1** to strip the code signing information
    51  * When **lang** and **unsigned** are used the separation is a **&** sign like in **?lang=de&unsigned=1**
    52 
    53 The file size shrinks from .jar: 10.2M over .jar?lang=de: 8.2M to .jar?lang=de&unsigned=1: 7.7M (as of version 10786).
     44** Strip translations **[=#Striptranslations]  \\
     45If download size is an issue, smaller files of JOSM tested are available. For downloads containing only one translation append [/josm-tested.jar?lang=en ?lang=en] to the URL. Replace `en` with the [wiki:/TracLanguages language code] you want (lowercase first character, supported languages only). You can further reduce the file size by stripping the signing information off with appending [/josm-tested.jar?lang=en&unsigned=1 ?unsigned=1].

    150138When you double-click on a jar file and nothing happens in most cases this means Java isn't installed.

    152 JOSM is tested and developed with Oracle JVM, therefore we recommend to get Java from their [https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp manual download] site.
    153 Mind yoursystems architecture (32 or 64 bit) when [https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml choosing] the installation. Java 64 bit is recommended for JOSM.
    154 ''Java'' is the common name for a product called ''Java Runtime Environment'' now or short ''JRE''.
    155 Formerly other names were used.
    156 Please avoid the page java.com/en/download because it tries to automatically detect your system architecture but fails much to often for being a real help.
    157 You do **not** need a Java-Plugin for your web browser to work with JOSM.
    158 
    159 If you still can't download or install Java, visit [https://www.java.com/en/download/help/troubleshoot_java.xml Oracles troubleshooting] pages for more information.

    185171==== Out of memory ====
    186172
    187 For some tasks, JOSM has a large appetite for memory. On the one hand, it may be necessary to configure an [[[Help/CommandLineOptions]] -Xmx memory size] that supports more JOSM plugins and other JOSM editing features. On the other hand, slow with few memory resources, can be stabilized by restricting JOSM memory use.  for example `-Xmx256m` or `-Xmx1536m`.
    188 
    189 To avoid this, the assigned memory can be increased with {{{-Xmx}}} option, see [[Help/CommandLineOptions]] for details.

     175Nowadays it is seldom needed because available RAM on computers has grown. Wrongly chosen values can decrease JOSM performance. See affecthave enough RAMOn current systems part of the download option is optional.

    193 On current versions of MS Windows by default Java is installed mainly in the `C:\Program Files\Java\` directory. Additional parts are placed in `C:\Program Files\Oracle\Java\`. There `.\javapath\` is the target for the PATH environment variable and virtual home for the three files `java.exe`, `javaw.exe` and `javaws.exe`.
     180On current versions of MS Windows by default Java is installed mainly in the `C:\Program Files\Java\` directory. Additional parts are placed in `C:\Program Files\Oracle\Java\`. There is a `.\javapath\` directory as target for the PATH environment variable. It is the home for the three virtual files `java.exe`, `javaw.exe` and `javaws.exe`. This files are symbolic links form the current Java installations.
    194181
    195182On older versions of 64 bit Windows sometimes the 32 bit mode JRE was additionally installed.  Also some browsers brought their own JVM with limited capabilities. In those cases a Web Start from the browser would not use your Java installation but that from the browser.
