As a newbie I'm making a Java desktop application based on OpenStreetmap, jXMapKit library. What I have actually done is displaying map and possibility to center possition by typing X and Y coordinates. Moreover I would like to display/load on my map some places like: cinema, theater etc. but I don't have any idea how to do it.

Is there any chance to download some list of places from any website and display it on my app?

Regards

Take a look at Overpass API. For downloading specific POIs you need to know their key-value-pairs. For cinemas this is would be amenity=cinema. Also take a look at overpass-turbo. This is a webfrontend for Overpass API and allows you to play around with your queries and to visualize the results.
