 ||'''Plugin-Canloadatruntime'''||optional||Should be set to {{{true}}} if the plugin can be installed without restart. See [wiki:DevelopersGuide/PluginInstallationWithoutRestart PluginInstallationWithoutRestart] for details.||
 ||'''Class-Path'''||optional||An space-seperated list of additional classpaths your plugin wants to use when looking for ressources and classes. The plugin itself is added automatically. Don't forget to provide the additional jar's as well, if you add dependencies here. Note that all loaded plugins are in the class-path automatically, so don't specify plugin-dependencies here.||
-||'''<xxx>_Plugin-Url'''||optional||To support older JOSM version special entries may be added to supply older versions. This information is used by the internal plugin handler to select only matching version when updating. The entries are made like this ''<josm_version>_Plugin-Url: <plugin_version>;<url>''||
+||'''<xxx>_Plugin-Url'''||optional||To support older JOSM versions, special entries may be added to supply older, compatible, versions of the plugin. For plugins maintained in the main plugin subversion repository, this is usually not necessary, since the JOSM server keeps track of compatible versions, when the '''Plugin-Mainversion''' is updated (see section '''Publishing the new plugin''' below). It ''is'' however useful, when the plugin is hosted on a different server, but still available as convenient download from within JOSM. [[br]]This information will then be used by the internal plugin handler to download a matching plugin version both for the first download and on update. There can be multiple '''<xxx>_Plugin-Url''' entries, the format is ''<josm_version>_Plugin-Url: <plugin_version>;<url>''. Here, ''<josm_version>'' denotes the lowest JOSM version, the plugin ''<plugin_version>'' will work with and it can be downloaded using ''<url>''. ||
 ||'''<lang>_Plugin-Description'''||optional||The translated description text for the plugin. E.g. ''de_Plugin-Description'' contains the German translation.||
