    $\begingroup$ If you are referring to the proof in the big McDuff-Salamon book, they state at the beginning of that section (2.3) an assumption for J to have weakest possible smoothness, C^1. I think this assumption is meant to permeate through. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 15, 2016 at 4:45
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for the comment. Yes, I am talking exactly about the McDuff-Salamon book you mentioned. However, it seems they don't wish to increase the regularity: they take $J(z) := J(u(z))$, where $u \in W^{1,p}$. So, I believe the statement should hold for $J$ as mentioned above. Anyhow, how about taking a section of the projection $\Psi \mapsto \Psi^{-1} J_0 \Psi $ and then precomposing it with $J$? $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 15, 2016 at 10:06
