It is a one line fix :-)

We just need to remove the line
add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());
from
org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.MainMenu.java

Can be done with

$ java -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -Xmx512m -Xdock:name=JOSM - 
jar josm-custom.jar

I have also created a .app, that uses the Mac OS X native menu bar.
