don't know the details on windows, but generally you need a JRE (Java runtime environment) to run java apps on the desktop, so you shouldn't remove/deactivate this if you want to run java applications (like e.g. JOSM). But you do not need the java browser plugin (comes often coupled with the JRE in the installer, but you can disactivate/not install it). The latter has nothing to do with javascript and it is often recommended to not install it, or require manual confirmation before running to reduce security risks. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
