Description (last modified by mkoniecz)

"You have encountered an error in JOSM." instructs user to "make sure you have updated to the latest version of JOSM".

But nowadays JOSM is able to check whatever new version appeared ("You are using version '7254' of JOSM. The current stable snapshot is 7182 and 7254 is the unstable development version." in welcome window).

Could JOSM check whatever new version appeared and

  • on outdated version: mention necessity of updating, skip information how bug may be reported
  • on updated version: skip "make sure you have updated to the latest version of JOSM" message and mention only updating plugins
  • on inability to check version (no internet, JOSM server is down): display current version

It would reduce tl;dr problem.
