I had no cache directory inserted and therefore thought to find it in
home/user/.josm/plugins/wms/cache (this was written as tooltip for the
standard)
but this directory (it existed) was empty.

That's what I guessed. Maybe someone can explain this:
1. Am I right asuming that cache expiry is about time? If I put 0 or
-1 does it mean never expire? Or do I have to put something else? are
the numbers milliseconds, seconds or sth else?

2. is the number for size in bytes?

3. What happens if I change the zoomlevel? Will it delete the whole cache?
