Steps to reproduce:

1. mv ~/.josm ~/.josm.old
2. start josm
3. Get this backtrace after the splash screen:

Development version. Unknown revision.

You did your own compiled version I assume. Do a clean (e.g. "ant clean") and recompile.

Reopen if this does not help.

If this is a packaged version (Ubuntu) tell the maintainer of the package about.
It seems the Java builds sometimes have problems with dependency tracking and do not recompile everything which is needed.

I can't reproduce it after a build with ant clean && ant dist
