josm-latest fails to start without .preferences file

[flo@…]

Hi,
when starting josm on a fresh new system without a preferences file josm aborts with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException without any hint.

Running with sun-java gives an error about failing to load a projection and is able to continue whereas openjdk aborts hard without continuing.

When saving a configuration with sun-java, switching back to openjdk works without a problem.

Please add the error message.

kurt@lxp4:~/Desktop$ java -jar josm-tested.jar
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)

at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.MainApplication.main(MainApplication.java:166)

Thats it - running with sun-java6-jre (debian) a requester pops up saying something about not beeing
able to load a projection EPSG:xxxx and after clicking okay - continues. Entering preferences and clicking okay
and leaving JOSM fixes above 2 error messages and afterwards josm starts with openjdk flawlessly.
