I wouldn't be too concerned. With all due respect for your coding work, I don't think that the actual program code is the essential thing about JOSM. It's the functionality and user interface, the decade-long (!) evolution that has given us the powerful tool we have today. You could sit down today and re-implement everything in, say, C++, and it would be relatively straightforward, and while the result would not share any of JOSM's codebase, it would still encapsulate all the experience and brainpower that has flown into JOSM development over the years. I think what is essential about JOSM will live on even if Java should die. Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [email protected] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33"
