Thank you to the replies I got for my problems with JOSM/Java.
Yesterday I removed everything java from my machine and reloaded java with "sudo apt-get install" but it totally refused to start and didn't seem to be even loaded correctly. I tried updates etc. all to no avail. Today I located http://roger.steneteg.org/535/how-to-install-oracle-java-on-ubuntudebian/"; and followed it through and this resulted in jre1.7.0_45 working correctly. So I now have JOSM up and running.
Thanks again for the help. Arthur (geesona) _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
