You'd probably get more help if you posted to the general

Good luck

Subject: [Talk-GB] Running JOSM (+ Java) on flash disk

Hello all,

Sorry if this is an inappropriate list but hope it's OK.

I would like to get JOSM working properly from a USB flash disk, with
Java on the disk too, for times I am using a Java-less machine (e.g. a
university computer).

I have it mostly working but with some errors. My understanding of
java is negligible but I would like to work on this. I have started
some notes here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Talk:JOSM#Run_JOSM_from_flash_dr
ive_with_my_prefs.3F

I copied an installation of the latest Java runtimes from an
installation on my home PC to my flash disk.

In a windows batch file, I can run JOSM like so:

  set APPDATA=\somefolder
  \java\bin\java.exe -jar \josm\josm-latest.jar


The first line tells Java/JOSM where to find my preferences, and this
works OK.

JOSM then runs but I get an error popup at startup:

  Error initializing test SpellCheck
  org/openstreetmap/josm/gui/preferences/AnnotationPresetPreference

...and in the DOS box on launch it says:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/openstreetmap/josm/gui/preferences/AnnotationPresetPreference


It looks like Java and/or JOSM is not finding things it expects to
find, either within Java's libraries or within josm.jar.

Any ideas on tackling this would be most welcome.

Thanks,
leedstracker
