[talk-ph] Portable USB for OSM editing

[Jim Morgan]

It seems you can set this on the command line when you launch it.

Java preference folder option
Alternatively, it is possible to set the preference folder at start up on the console with:
-Djosm.home=
e.g.
java -Xmx1000m -Djosm.home=$HOME/.josm-latest -jar josm-latest.jar

So it is worth to note that if you downloaded a plugin or set up a sat imagery on a local computer using the portable JOSM, you would need to reset and download them up in case you would need to use another computer.
