HI Brett, Remember that josm has its own repository for the latest version.
So if you are running a ubuntu derivative, look at the instructions here http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download#Ubuntu You can use the ubuntu tools, and keep your josm at the latest without having to do any copying over.
