The same problem occurs with the latest josm-tested 5482, whereas with josm-latest 5355 it works fine.

Another issue I have is that lately I have to select Python over and over again. Before it remembered that I script in Python instead of in Rhino. That's more of an annoyance.

This is the problem with plugins not hosted on OSM SVN: we cannot rebuild them when it is required (the jar just has to been rebuilt to work with latest JOSM)

I think you need to update Java instead. You're seriously OUT-OF-DATE running 1.6.23. The latest in the 1.6 branch is .35. Or even better, upgrade to 1.7.07. That might fix your problem. If not, at least it would make your computer safer from hackers who are targeting the version of Java you're currently running like mad right now.

[Don-vip]

This has nothing to do with Java version, I changed this method signature during last development cycle and rebuilt all impacted plugins I could rebuild (i.e, only those located at ​http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/editors/josm/plugins).

However, regarding the latest security flaws recently exposed, I strongly advise you to upgrade to one of the versions Rick mentioned. But this will not solve this problem :)

I might be the only soul who's using this plugin... It's very handy though. No idea why it's not hosted along with all the others.

For the record, I upgraded to the latest and greatest Java release. One in a row of an extreme amount of updates.

Thanks for having looked into it. I hope the maintainer gets to see this eventually.

Better contact the author directly for external handled plugins.

I see the plugin has been recompiled so this problem should be fixed now.
