Maybe JOSM could be built in a way to take advantage of a separately downloaded Apache HTTP client if one is there, and silently fall back to the built-in default if not? That way we wouldn't have to force all those libraries onto our users. Or else we can have a "proxy auth" plugin that people load if they want proxy authentication with all bells and whistles. That's one big gripe I have with the Java world. Instead of installing libraries in a global location on a system, every smallest Java program brings its own set of libraries because of course they all use a slightly different version of each.
