When I run Homebrew suggests installing OpenJDK with Can Homebrew properly install JOSM and Java? openjdk version "14" 2020-03-17 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 14+36-1461) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14+36-1461, mixed mode, sharing) asked 27 Mar, 18:47 homocomputeris |
Wow! I hadn't thought about trying to install JOSM via brew. Seems unlikely to me that the Homebrew maintainers would be on as active and frequent update cycle as getting the jar from the people maintaining JOSM so you'd likely always be running an older version. I just have a Java VM environment and download the latest josm-tested.jar file from https://josm.openstreetmap.de every time JOSM nags me that is it old (about once a month). Only issue is that each time I download a new version I have to tell the MacOS that it is safe to run it. I am still on Mohave as there are some programs I have that won't run on newer MacOS versions so I am not sure if what I am doing will work for you. answered 28 Mar, 01:17 stf 1
I always download the jar file and run it from the terminal window. I do get asked to keep the file before download, but I do not get additional questions when I run the program.

It turns out that it's not a Homebrew issue.

Solved by installing Java 8u241 from java.com instead of Homebrew. answered 28 Mar, 12:55 homocomputeris |
