Cannot start JOSM

[Rummidge]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. start josm
2. accept an error in a window (something like):

"Cannot read the label preferences source: ressource://data/elemstyles.xml"

What is the expected result?

JOSM starting

What happens instead?

JOSM fails to start, a new dialog window appears, with (approximate, I am translating from Spanish)

"An unexpected exception occured
This is always a coding error. If you are running the latest JOSM version, please take the time to report a bug."

with two buttons:

"Do Nothing" and "Report Error"

The first, when pressed, (amazingly), does nothing. And seems to hang forever (console not coming down).

When "Report Error" is pressed, a nex window is displayed with a text area containing the text below

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Is it really "ressource://data/elemstyles.xml" with double s? (I'm not spell-checking your text, this is relevant. :)

Please add the full stack output from console window and your preferences (Help > Show status report).

Thanks for the reply. No, sorry for the misspelling: simple 's' -> 'resource'

I am also uploading (trying to) a sshot of the dialog window.

SORRY! Las was my own comment.

Not true. JOSM is starting again in 3880. While the resource error dialog keeps happening, JOSM is finally starting.

It seems that the bug itself had nothing to do with the resource error.

In [3883/josm]:

fixed #5921 - legacy stuff

True, i fixed it yesterday. [3883] addresses the resource error.
