The May release is now available as version 7182 :) As said before, this version is the first tested version compatible only with Java 7 or later.
Java 7 is used today by 91% of users running JOSM 7000 or above. 5% are running Java 8, and only 4% are still running Java 6. If you're still running Java 6 and would like to update, you have to: - On Windows, go to https://www.java.com/en/download and download Java 7 - On Mac OSX, same. But you should have a look to the Oracle FAQ at https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml. The important thing is that Java 7 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X version 10.7.3 (Lion) or above. - On Linux, install the Java 7 package (for example, openjdk-7-jre on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint) Like for the previous migration (Java 5 to 6), the previous version (7000) will remain available on JOSM website for several years, so if you're stuck on Java 6, you will be able to download it again if needed. For more details about Java 7 migration, see https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/8465.
