Open Source : Yes (GNU General Public License v2 or later)

Source Code : There are different methods, more details here -https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Source%20code#Getthesource

+1, It would be cool to have.

This needs a dedicated maintainer considering the complexity of getting it to work.

It's been a month since this has been accepted and marked for needs maintainer. Given nobody has stepped up to provide an accepted patch, marking as wontfix. Feel free to re-open when a patch has been submitted via the appropriate process.

@DataDrake I am a regular user of JOSM and would love to maintain it, however, I currently don't have the knowledge to be able to package it. Any chance of someone helping me with it?

I could give it try. I don't promise anything, but it shouldn't be that difficult to package.

Gotta say thre git repository (converted from the official SVN repository) is HUGE. Nearly 700 MB. Is this an issue?

Patch provided was not acceptable. Closing again.

@JoshStrobl would it be acceptable to set a script that creates a tarball as the source, enable networking and then build JOSM from the extracted tarball? The downside of JOSM is basically having an SVN repository instead of git.

@JoshStrobl @DataDrake pinging you again. Would my previous solution be acceptable? Or, alternatively, we can create local tarballs like we do for Firefox langpacks.
