Without upstream involvement, this issue will not get resolved.

Upstream doesn't built the Java code of its dependencies, it uses the 
JARs hosted on Maven.

The metadata-extractor 2.19.0 JAR from Maven uses xmpcore 6.1.11, the 
Debian package uses xmpcore 6.1.10 because that version has source JARs 
available unlike 6.1.11.

There are no other significant source changes.

Upstream builds their JARs with Java 8, the Debian package uses Java 17.

You can use the upstream JARs by purging the josm{,-l10n} & jmapviewer 
packages and installing the josm-installer package. The systemd timer it 
provides periodically downloads the upstream JAR. The package installs 
the same desktop integration files as the josm package.

Kind Regards,

Bas
