That's what happens when the Open-JRE is set as the default, you need to set the sun-jre as the default, or setup a desktop icon something like this:

Edit /usr/share/applications/josm.desktop and paste the following into it:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=JOSM
Comment=Import GPX files and upload Open Street Map data
Exec=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java -jar /usr/share/java/josm-tested.jar
Icon=josm.png
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=Application;Network;
MimeType=application/x-GPS-Exchange-Format
