Have you recently switched from java 6 to java 7 ?

[anonymous]

nope, java 7 is on my laptop since a few month. I do not remember any update the last days (but i started josm every day iirc)

[Don-vip]

OK, then could you please tell me what's the last version of JOSM you have launched before the crash occured ?

[anonymous]

no, sorry. i always start via webstart latest, so i dont look at the version. feel free to close this issue.
thanks for your good work.

[Don-vip]

OK I submit a bugreport to Oracle, it's not JOSM fault. If the problem occurs again you probably just have to cleanup Java cache in Windows Control panel.
