I've just updated josm-plugins (which > can't be build right now, because it depends on too recent josm) and > josm (which fails to build for the reason I just underlined) to SVN. I believe we should stick with the free compilers, and ask debian-java for clues on a workaround and the josm developers to avoid using SUN specific APIs. This might change when the new Java version make it to unstable (is the SUN API part of that version?), but until then, we should try our best to keep josm part of Debian/main.
