This flatpak does not allow passing java -D arguments. All arguments are passed as josm file arguments, it seems. As a result, the user cannot apply this instructions on the mentioned page:
-Djosm.dir.name=JOSM-dev
When running flatpak run org.openstreetmap.josm -Djosm.dir.name=JOSM-dev
The output is: "JOSM: unrecognised option '-Djosm.dir.name'"
That is explained by the wrapper in /app/bin/josm. This wrapper inside the flatpak container does this:
$JAVACMD $JAVA_OPTS -jar "${JOSM_PATH}" "$@"
Proposed solution: Parse better the arguments that are given. Arguments starting with '-D' could easily be detected and added to $JAVA_OPTS with a bit of extra shell code in the wrapper. Valid arguments for josm itself could be passed to josm.
