[josm-dev] jmapviewer: specify revision number for svn:externals

[Sebastian Klein]

Hi,

Incluing the jmapviewer as svn:external seems a little strange to me. 
The two versions are not in synch, one single change to the jmapviewer 
API and you cannot compile any previous versions of JOSM without much 
hassle.

The problem is discussed here [1] and one guy suggests, to explicitly 
specify the revision number for the externals definition. This way you 
have to update the revision each time the jmapviewer component gets 
updated. On the other hand, the repository remembers, what version of 
jmapviewer is compatible with a certain JOSM revision.
