Description
In r2259 there was added detection of unmaintainted plugins.
The detection have two flaws:
- Multipoly plugin is listed as unmaintained. I actively use it and develop it and once I notice some change in JOSM that breaks it, I repair it within few days at most. Last release is from 11th september (less than one month old) and it is working perfectly in r2259 and is not "very likely to produce errors". The plugin is simple, and unless something in JOSM or in OSM's definition of multipolygon relation changes in an incompatible way, there is no need to change the plugin. So this plugin should be removed from the "unmaintained" list.
- I received the warning _twice_ on JOSM start. Once should be enough.

Deactivated warning again in r2267.
A note: You can supply old versions using something like this example in the meta text of most current plugin.
1725_Plugin-Url: 19;http://upliner.openstreetmap.ru/josm/buildings_tools/1725/buildings_tools.jar
This is
<JOSM version>_Plugin-Url: <plugin_version>;<plugin_url>
JOSM then will allow users to choose the best matching plugin version only. This is done automatically for SVN plugins.
See also plugin info.



Point 2 fixed in r2261.
multipoly is unmaintained as long as the normal users don't get an update of it. When you do updates locally, then this does not change the situation. So either it should be maintained in OSM-SVN or you add it back as external plugin on the plugins page and care for it. Until then it remains officially unmaintained.
