The ebuilds do generate an entry with "make_desktop_entry". That used to work well but also has some limitations. i.e. it lacks support for mime-types and opening files with josm directly The desktop entry shipped by upstream in their debian packages supports mime types. Also with version 19160 on plasma6 there is no menu entry anymore. Must be some field missing or having a value plasma6 does not like. The easiest will likely be to find the source of the upstream desktop entry and include it instead of crafting our own. Reproducible: Always
Turns out there was a menu entry on plasma6. But the menu search did not find it any longer when starting to type "josm", only as "java" which is what "Name" starts with. The minimal fix for that would be to Name=JOSM GenericName=Java OpenStreetMap Editor as seen in those debian packages

Use it and the mime-type definitions but keep changing the name from "josm" to "josm-bin" where needed.
