Error when opening the preferences dialog

[telegnom]

No matter how (<F12>, <Edit> -> <preferences> or the button in the toolbar) I try to open the preferences dialog, JOSM displays a warning that an error has occurred. If I acknowledge the error message the preferences dialog opens as usual. The preferences dialog itself seems to work proper.

By clicking on "Report Bug" JOSM provides the following information:

[mjulius]

This might be a bug in one of the plugins you have installed. Of those ColumbusCSV, buildings_tools and mappinonosm are not on svn.openstreetmap.org and I can not easily check them.

Could you uninstall them one by one and see if the error goes away?

[mjulius]

Actually, I have just tried by installing them myself and it turns out that ColumbusCSV is the culprit here.

[telegnom]

After removing the ColumbusCSV-plugin the dialog opened as expected.

[Gubaer]

Closing as wontfix. ColumbusCSV is maintained somewhere else.

Does anybody have contact information of the author? He should also upgrade to the new rquired signature for the constructor of the plugin main class:

   public MyPlugin(PluginInformation info) {
      // init 
   }
