Can you give examples that would justify a massive effort of reimplementing JOSM?

Because that some people will not be able to use JOSM at their work is not one 


that would justify that.




Because people who map at their work, and have banned Java and other executables 


are allowed is not high.

Yes it is Windows and I recognise that many prefer one flavour of UNIX or another but I think it is time to think strategically and start work on a replacement for JOSM before we find we can no longer use it.  It can certainly create code which will run on UNIX systems.

What about openjdk?
