(asking for help on debian-java@l.d.o. Please, keep me, the bug and Mark
Purcell, unless he tells he's not interested into, in Cc

Hi members from debian-java@l.d.o!
I'm (co-)maintaining a Java package under the umbrella of the Debian GIS
group. This package is JOSM, the Java OpenStreetMap editor[1], and Mark
Purcell has reported a bug against it, telling that JOSM doesn't work
under PowerPC, both with jamvm and gij-4.1. JOSM is known to work, even
if not perfectly, with the same VMs under i386. But this time the
problems seems more fundamental. The bug is [2]. I'm not repeating the
content of the log, as it is quite short and my wording would be longer
and less clear than it. :-P

[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486293

As I'm not a Java expert, and particularly I don't know how to cope with
these architecture-related problems, I'm asking your help here. Do you
have any advises? Is this (or maybe somewhere on pkg-java-*@alioth) the
right place for this sort of questions?

Thank you very much! :-)

Regards, Giovanni.
