JOSM displays an error when the API request didn't yield any data

Description
When using e.g. api06.dev.openstreetmap.org JOSM will display an error when you download an area that doesn't have any data.
That's annoying. There being no data in the area just means that it doesn't have data, not that some error occurred. JOSM should only display an error if the API request doesn't succeed or some other actual error is encountered.

Couldn't agree more. I've removed the warning.

Use case:
User is downloading a bbox (e.g. via a remotecontrol link) where you don't know beforehand if it actually contains any data. After the download user ends up with an empty editor window and can't tell if anything gone wrong or there's just no data.
Suggestion:
I'd rather like to see this error changed to a info window saying "No data in that area."

If I remember correctly this warning was added as users requested it.

OK, enabled it again with a slightly modified message. It's still an error message, though.
I'll try to provide a better fix in the next iteration. The download tasks deserve some cleaning up.
