I don't think this is something we should fix in the josm wrapper script because this problem affects every java application that somehow tries to access the network. But openjdk-6 allows to define system-wide proxy settings in /etc/java6-openjdk/net.properties. There's also a property java.net.useSystemProxies which i was told works with the gnome proxy settings but unfortunately not with $http_proxy. We can probably improve the josm wrapper to use the environment variable $JAVA_OPTS to customize the behaviour of the jvm, like defining proxy or memory settings.
