Re: [josm-dev] josm-tested (r4667) bad preferences file: SOLVED

 That bug from 2008 pointed to my problem.  I was using an old jre.
 Don't do that.  :-)


Maybe we can do something about it in JOSM.
First I have updated this wiki page:
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/SystemRequirements

To point out the more recent bugs caused by an old JRE version.

Next, I propose to update the Main.checkJava6() to issue a warning when
JOSM runs with an old JRE 6.
We'd just have to define what old is. It must be at least 14 (the update
fixing this issue), but we have the following versions of openjdk-6-jre in
Debian/Ubuntu:
- Debian stable: 18
- Ubuntu stable: 23

So, I'd suggest 18, to start with ?

[josm-dev] josm-tested (r4667) bad preferences file

2011-12-29 Thread Richard Weait
Dear All,

How does one run josm tested?   r4667 complains of a errors in the
preferences file.

I have:
- removed .josm directory
- started josm-tested (complains of errors in the preferences file.
Should this say no preferences file found. creating new preferences
file ?)
- add my plugins
- close
- start josm-tested (complains of errors in the preferences file)

What next?

Discussion on #osm-dev lead to this from josm with no ~/.josm directory.
