I orphaned josm (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/josm), the

is outdated (also in EPEL).
My experience with JOSM is that this is probably one of the
programs which are better not to be packaged (other example: vim
plugins). Java Web Start on
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm.jnlp works just fine
and I don't see the reason why we should bother with packaging
it ourselves.
The reasons for packaging something up as rpm is security and system
integrety/consistency, i.e. not to endanger installations from the
(windowish) mindset of "unpackaged" third party stuff.
What you say, basically means you are questioning and deny the
usefulness of packaging as a whole. The key feature which has made Linux
distros great and superior to Windows.
