[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#610006: josm: Please enable respecting system proxy settings

[Andreas Tille]

Package: josm
Version: 0.0.svn3751-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

when trying to set proxy to system settings JOSM says that it is
necessary to call JOSM with  -Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true  option.
If this is not set you can not even choose the system proxy setting from
the menu.  I'd regard it reasonable to at least enable using system
proxy if wanted without restarting JOSM manually.  The following patch
would do the trick:

        if [ "z$ALTERNATIVE_JDK" = "z`readlink -n -f $jcmd`" ] && [ -z "${JAVACMD}" ]; then


Kind regards and thanks for maintaining JOSM

     Andreas.
