I only asked if it was possible to make it optional, to quote my initial
email:

"
 Would it be possible to make JCS an optional dependency and use the
 previous caching mechanism if it's not available?

 This would make it easier to package current JOSM tested snapshots (and
 backports for these) until JCS is more widely available in distributions
 (JCS 2.0 is still at beta1).

Thanks for continuously misrepresenting my words.

Kind Regards,
