I'm not sure this is the best solution.
For example on OpenOffice I get a big list with a lot of options to 
select...

It's much simpler to have only one download.
Currently I don't see the size of the jar file a problem.

Webstart applications work very fine offline, but on the other hand, 
what do you wish to do with josm wehn you're offline ?
