I occasionally use a Mac as well. I have the .jar lying around on the

a .app have over this?

One drawback of starting it like that is that you don't get to boost
the memory available to JOSM, something I've found I usually want to
do. For that reason, I usually end up starting JOSM from the command
line on my own Mac.

I don't know if Till's .app technique can help here, but if it can
that would be a clear benefit.


I have created a .app for JOSM too. I increased the memory for it to work. It needed to be done in a special way, through the Java VM properties rather than the memory setting in the .plist.

My one can be updated, by replacing the josm-latest.jar within the bundle.

I didn't bother with a custom icon.

Another advantage, is the prevention of multiple JOSMs launching. It does play nicer with the dock etc.
