In the context of freeplane removing the Bing support entirely from
jmapviewer is probably the best solution to keep freeplane and its
dependencies in main.
I'm not sure how important the Bing support is for freeplane users, but
for JOSM users is pretty much essential. I've avoided contributing to
JOSM packaging because it's such a fast moving piece of software which
tends to break ofter with new java dependencies, etc. I'm skeptical of
how useful JOSM is Debian stable release is, the OSM wiki suggests to
use the josm package for its desktop file and overwriting josm.jar with
a more recent josm-tested.jar that they generally recommend to use.
If we cannot get around disabling the Bing support because of the
license issues around the logo, I think we should remove the josm
package forcing users to download josm-tested.jar. I've used the josm
package on unstable for a while, but have since switched to using
josm-tested.jar instead because even in unstable JOSM is hard to support
and keep current.
I'm not sure how much I can help you patching JOSM to deal with the Bing
removal, but I'm willing to help in any way I can.
