JOSM not working at all after updating plugins to latest version

Description

Now, before I updated the plugins, I was able to start r4164 just fine. But after I updated the plugins that were updated in [o26174] & [o26176], JOSM crashes when starting up and will not run at all, even when using r4170 which was released today!

Now, I was able to get JOSM to start up in r4170 (and r4164) if I completely deleted my entire plugin folder. But if I re-downloaded any plugins and restarted, JOSM wouldn't start again with the same error message above.

So, something in the recent plugin rebuilt really borked compatibility with JOSM to the point of making JOSM completely useless. Not good at all! This needs to be fixed ASAP, otherwise, you'll get TONS of bug reports on this one!

Update: I was able to revert all my plugins to versions that were released before [o26176]. Did that by going to the OSM Trac, finding, and then downloading the revision that was released before [o26176] for each plugin I use. So, now I have r4170 working with the old plugins again.

But still, if I were to try to update the plugins again (at this moment), I wouldn't be able to get JOSM to start. :(

On a side note, this brings up a possible future enhancement that would help when problems like this happen. See #6502.

I can confirm the above mentioned bug:

Made a quick fix to I18n.java to work around this bug by never setting the strings and pstrings hashtables to null. But this is only a workaround, I18n.java should be modified further to remove now unnecessary "== null" comparisons. I hope the following svn diff output can be applied not only to my sources, I have never yet worked with diff and patch. Output of "svn diff ./src/org/openstreetmap/josm/tools/I18n.java" is attached.

In [4171/josm]:

fix #6501 - NPE for english language version

comment:5 by stoecker, 13 years ago

I rebuilt josm, please update.

comment:6 by rickmastfan67, 13 years ago

Just updated to r4171. Then re-updated the plugins to latest version again and all works correctly. :)

Thank you for fixing this. :)

On a side note, should the plugins be updated to mention a minimum version of JOSM that they will work with? Don't want people being updated to the newest plugins if they are still using the "tested" build of r4064, right? ;)

No. The plugins are downwards compatible.

comment:8 by rickmastfan67, 13 years ago

If they were downwards compatible, why wouldn't they work in r4164 then? That's the version I had running first when I updated the plugins to [o26174] (see original report). Only then did I try updating to r4170.

This NPE happened in both r4164 and r4170. Hence why I think the plugins need to have the minimum version of r4171.

Because the bug was introduced in core revision r4159 and thus all core version between r4159 and r4171 will fail.

Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :)
