The josm wrapper respects the environment variables JAVA_HOME and JAVACMD. See README.Debian for details. Sun's java will be added as an alternative to the wrapper in the next version of the packge. > Please would you add, or indeed replace, an option to use the system > java alternative (which I note is the Debian standard method of handling > this sort of situation).

Unfortunately this is not possible (at least we think it is not). josm does not run with most of the jvm's in debian and displays only a grey, unresponsive window when executed. I don't think we can handle all available jvm's as actual alternatives therefore and try to circumvent this with our own wrapper that tries all jvm's that work with josm. To not fully remove the possibility to choose your own java, you can export those environment variables, see above.
