[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#497559: josm: honor $http_proxy

[dann frazier]

Package: josm
Version: 0.0.0.20080713-1
Severity: wishlist

The jre provided by openjdk-6-jre (and possibly others) doesn't honor
the http_proxy environment variable. When I'm behind a proxy, that means I
need to type something like this:

  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java -Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.1.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -jar /usr/share/josm/josm.jar

It would be nice if the /usr/bin/josm script detected an http_proxy environment
variable and automatically added the necessary arguments to the java command
line for me.
