This is because of a broken plugins cache file: Redownload the list of plugins or delete the file plugins/site-josm.openstreetmap.de-_plugin.txt in your JOSM preferences folder.

I agree it shouldn't be like this: It should catch all exceptions that come from bad input data and offer to ignore / redownload / delete the cache. After all this cache file is not needed for normal operation as the information is also read directly from the plugin files.

Fixed in r3553.
