JOSM doesn't start

[bjoern_m]

After running "josm", there is the Message "Hauptfenster erstellen" (->creating main window) and after some seconds it appears a message window "An unexpected exception occurred. Please consider being kind and file a bug report..." JOSM remains in the state of "Hauptfenster erstellen".

Replying to bjoern.mahrt (at) gmx.de:

Tanks for your report

Debian-Release: 0.0.svn4064-3

Please, update your system.

I do not know from which server you got your debian package from but this version did not enter squeeze and there are no backports. Considering wheezy/sid your packages are quite outdated.

Anyway, for reporting bugs in debian packages please use the ​Debian bug tracker:

reportbug josm

Thanks.

Your version is two years old, please update it.
