• Installing plugin jts solves the problem.
• Installing plugin geotools only properly pulls jts.
• I also noticed that downloading the plugin geotools takes quite long.
• Why is there no plugin version number in the status report ?
  • Plugin 'geotools' (Version 28978)

Normal. The GeoTools library is huge. This is why JOSM core will never rely on it. The two plugins using it (ImportImagePlugin and opendata) were also really big and have seen their size drastically reduced now. We just need to stabilize geotools now, but this plugin will not be updated very often after that.

Does not help me much cause I often work on PC which are reseted on reboot and I have to manually download each time. Is it possible to have download in background ?

• Why is there no plugin version number in the status report

Looks like the numbers are only displayed if the plugin is loaded successfully.

Sounds too complicated, I don't think so.

I have updated both plugins ([o29023],[o29028]) for people that will stay with tested (r5608).

You are right.
Mmh, I remembered my bigger problem: #7483.
Right now it is not really possible to share the plugins. Probably will work for plugins which are not often updated but each update might bring a problem.
