Thanks for these hints too.

I've already raised my concerns about the JCS requirement in JOSM which
in my opinion is premature due to the beta stage of JCS 2.0 and its
alpha stage dependency on jcache. But JOSM upstream doesn't care much
about building from source by downstreams.

I'll see what I can do with the embedded dependency, although we need it
for the current upstream releases for both JOSM and JMapViewer. I'd
rather not duplicate JCS for both.

Kind Regards,

Bas
