Is this an actual problem you, or people you know, encounter? If so, is
this a policy or a technical measure? In any case, banning Java but
allowing arbitrary other executables is silly (a good policy would ban Java
Applet plug-ins from browsers instead, this is what might have caused the
confusion).

Would offering a version of JOSM somehow wrapped in a .exe help?
