[josm-dev] How to: Running JOSM from an USB stick - without JAVA installed on the target machine!!!

[Ulf Lamping]

Hi!

Some days ago, I came across the "Java portable" package on 
PortableApps.com [1].

That made me think if it might be possible to install JAVA and JOSM on 
an USB stick and run JOSM on any suitable Windows machine without any 
further installation on the target machine.

It seems to be possible!

In the JOSM trac I've put together a "how to install it on a stick and 
use it" [2].


Before I announce this to the "general public", could someone try it out 
and give some feedback? Especially usage on a windows machine without 
any JAVA installed at all would be interesting, as I don't have such a 
machine at hand.

Regards, ULFL
