[josm-dev] Change JOSM default projection from EPSG:4326 to Mercartor?

Hi,

Mercator completely breaks the WMS plugin (try and download a large
sat image from Landsat with Mercator enabled, then zoom into an area
and download again to see what I mean). But that's a problem of the
plugin really, I think I'll simply modify the WMS plugin so that it
refuses to work if you are using Mercator.

(Some WMS servers can return Mercator-projected images but the WMS
plugin is not smart enough to detect that and request them if it is
required. Anyway the Landsat server cannot return Mercator; the image
would have to be reprojected by the WMS plugin, and that's rather more
difficult than just stretching it a bit...)

Bye
Frederik
