Bug#809557: fails to start, with exception

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Package: josm
Version: 0.0.svn9229+dfsg-1
Severity: grave

While starting josm, an exception occurs during splash screen stage:

  * Initializing
  * Installing updated plugins
  * Loading early plugins
      * Loading plugins ...
      * Checking plugin preconditions...
  * Setting defaults

Here is the console output:

$ josm
Using /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java to execute josm.
ERROR: java.lang.AssertionError: Error: Unknown projection code
java.lang.AssertionError: Error: Unknown projection code
	at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.preferences.projection.AbstractProjectionChoice.getProjection(AbstractProjectionChoice.java:64)
	at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.preferences.projection.ProjectionPreference.setProjection(ProjectionPreference.java:419)
	at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.preferences.projection.ProjectionPreference.setProjection(ProjectionPreference.java:398)

	at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.MainApplication.main(MainApplication.java:457)
INFO: GET https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/TestedVersion?format=txt -> 200

Then, the Java "Unexpected Exception" dialog pops up and asks the user to
file a bug report.

After that, the program seems to hang indefinitely, until Ctrl-C is pressed.

Downgrading to version 0.0.svn9060+dfsg-2 does solve the problem.
