Storing the plugins system wide still gives the user the possibility to use josm's download/update functionality. I worry that this could lead to some problems due to plugin incompatibility, version conflicts, etc. Removing the download code might be an option. Do you think this would be an unnecessary change to the original src and we should rather try it the way it is, shipping an josm-plugins package _and leaving josm's dl function intact? Sorry if i'm asking silly questions for maybe obvious answers, i need to learn here :) > I see from <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/385371> that you believe the > Btw, is the license incompatibility issue with josm can be solved. > This is good news.
