Arthur, the HeadlessException might relate to a situation where Java cannot use you X env correctly. I guess you are not using in a situation where you are (eg) SSH-ing into the machine ? If so, need to add -X or -Y to tell it to send its xwindow back to you. And, of course have a good X server running locally.
Can you start other Java GUI things ? If you have been working hard on that Java installation, quite possible there are bits of Java scattered around your system, maybe pointing in the wrong direction ? Probably important you check that other Java apps work OK before you concentrate too much on JOSM.
