+== Manually installing plugins ==
+If the automatic way does not work, you can install plugins manually by putting the .jar files in the **plugins** directory under the JOSM directory
+
+ * Under **Windows**, this is in {{{C:\Documents and Settings\}}}''username''{{{\Application Data\JOSM\plugins}}}.
+ * Under **Vista**, the plugins are located in  {{{C:\Users\}}}''username''{{{\AppData\Roaming\JOSM\plugins}}}.
+ * On a **Mac** you will find the JOSM directory in the user directory {{{/Users/}}}''username''{{{/.josm/plugins}}}. The point "." in front of ".josm" indicates that this folder is invisible. To show the contents of this hidden folder, use the Finders Go to folder menu command ({{{Cmd+Shift+G}}}), and enter "~/.josm") in the dialog that pops up. Drag any plugins you'd like to install into the {{{plugins}}} folder.[[BR]] (You can also copy the plugin files using the command line.)
+ * On a **Linux** system you will find the JOSM directory in the user directory {{{/home/}}}''username''{{{/.josm/plugins}}}. The point "." in front of ".josm" indicates that this folder is invisible. To show the contents of this hidden folder, use the file manager and enter "~/.josm" in the address line (if no address line is visible just try to enter a letter and hopefully a popup to enter the address will open). Alternatively it is possible to "show hidden" files and folders in the file manager, using the keyboard shortcut ''Ctrl+H''. Drag any plugins you'd like to install into the {{{plugins}}} folder.[[BR]] (You can also copy the plugin files using the command line.)
+
+Now restart JOSM and the plugins should show up in the plugin list under **''Edit -> Preferences -> [[Image(source:trunk/images/preferences/plugin.png,15)]] [wiki:Help/Preferences/Plugins Plugins]''**.[[BR]] Activate the Plugins, click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/ok.png,15)]] **OK** to save the preferences and restart JOSM once more.
