dxfImport no longer works.

[bwallum]

This latest edition of JOSM has disabled the dxfimport plugin. This is a pity as the dxf file format is used by all computer aided design programmes and frequently these programmes are used to generated plans of developments, which are ideal for refining the detail in OSM.

Could something be done to allow the import of dxf to be possible once again?

Yes, post bug reports as advised so we get proper error message, version and environment information
