5893	Null Pointer Exception while loding custom presets at start -  JOSM hangs on splash screen	Fabi2	team	"I currently try to write some prsets for the german healthcare system as I encountered this bug.

Snippet from the preferences file: 

taggingpreset.sortmenu=true
taggingpreset.sources-list.0=resource://data/defaultpresets.xml.Internal Preset
taggingpreset.sources-list.1=http://josm.openstreetmap.de/raw-attachment/wiki/Presets/craft-1.xml.Vorlagen für Handwerker
taggingpreset.sources-list.2=/home/fabi/de-hc-preset2.xml.de-hc

This means the internal presets, the craft=* and my own presets should be loaded.

Bug-HOWTO:

1. Activate the presets in the preferences, close JOSM and the make a restart.
2. The error pops up on startup.
3. JOSM hangs on the the splash screen, while ""Hauptfenster erzeugen"" (creating main window).
4. JOSM must be killed.
