8218	"Needs better message for ""Invalid spellcheck line"""	naoliv	team	"While using this as a custom tagchecker:

{{{
way  : W : highway == * && surface != * # highway without surface type
way  : I : highway == * && maxspeed != * # highway without max speed
}}}

I saw that nothing was happening.
Then after a lot of investigation I saw this (after running josm from a shell):

{{{
Invalid spellcheck line: way  : W : highway == * && surface != * # highway without surface type
Invalid spellcheck line: way  : I : highway == * && maxspeed != * # highway without max speed
}}}

So '''first problem''': it should display inside josm a graphical message that something is wrong with the config file.

Then tried to understand why it was telling me that these lines were wrong. After a long time I saw that it was missing this as the first line of my config file:


{{{
# JOSM TagChecker validator file
}}}

'''Second problem''': it should just read and interpret the config file, ignoring this header '''or''', at least, give the user a better message on why the config file was invalid (in fact it was valid, but missing just a line)"	defect	closed	normal		Core validator		wontfix
