[talk-au] loading JOSM

[David Bannon]

Arthur, the HeadlessException might relate to a situation where Java
cannot use you X env correctly. I guess you are not using in a situation
where you are (eg) SSH-ing into the machine ? If so, need to add -X or
-Y to tell it to send its xwindow back to you. And, of course have a
good X server running locally.

Can you start other Java GUI things ?

If you have been working hard on that Java installation, quite possible
there are bits of Java scattered around your system, maybe pointing in
the wrong direction ?  

Probably important you check that other Java apps work OK before you
concentrate too much on JOSM.
