Problem with updating plugins with existing /usr/share/josm/plugins

[skyper]

I think there is a problem with updating plugins.
I have the debian package josm-plugins installed. These plugins are installed under /usr/share/josm/plugins. Even before downloading the plugin list the first time I already have some plugins available (local).

1. start josm
2. download plugin list
3. install cadastre plugin
4. restart

Exception with package from stable

Using /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java to execute josm.

With the plugin package from debian testing josm starts without exception, but still does not use the latest plugin but the one installed under /usr/share.

Why are you reporting it here?

Please report it in the Debian BTS by using "reportbug josm" from the command line.

Thanks,

Think you got me wrong !

I have the debian packages installed and also a start script for latest ! The problem is with latest from this page. It does not use the downloaded plugins but uses the plugins under /usr/share/josm/plugins.

This setup used to work without problem.

I cannot try it with older versions as I can not download any plugins.

OK, I summarize, we have two problems here:

1. josm (from r5036 on) does download plugins to ~/.josm/plugins but only uses plugins from /usr/share/josm/plugins if the plugin exists in this directory.
2. plugin system for versions pre5036 seems to be totally broken because of path changes.

[skyper]

Still a problem.
