 ||'''Plugin-Early'''||optional||Can be set to {{{true}}}, in which case the plugin is loaded as early as possible, more specific before the GUI classes are loaded. This is usefull if your plugin alters the GUI or the JOSM-startup process in any way.||
 ||'''Plugin-Link'''||optional||Informational URL to a webpage or other information source about that plugin. Is also used in the [wiki:Plugins plugins] information page.||
-||'''Plugin-Icon'''||optional||The icon to display in the plugin list. The image must be included in the plugin jar file. Give the full relative path, e.g. {{{images/preferences/plugin.png}}}[[BR]]The images are collected by a server script in regular intervals. The JOSM clients download the entire [http://josm.openstreetmap.de/plugin-icons.zip archive] along with the plugin list.||

 Just because I have been asked: JOSM is licensed under GPL and if any code is a "derived work" of JOSM, then it has to be under GPL too. It is my believe, that any JOSM-Plugin is a derived work of JOSM, so GPL is the only possible license for a JOSM-Plugin. If you want to include non-GPL code into a plugin, it has to be seperated from the classes that use JOSM. "Use" as in "import org.openstreetmap.josm...". See the 'Class-Path' - MANIFEST.MF attribute for a way to include other jar files.
