Windows Defender causing JOSM problems

[Toby Murray]

JOSM plugins are not a factor here. Windows is scanning and flagging
the josm-latest.jar file as soon as a browser downloads it. I don't
remember exactly which class files it is flagging. One was an inner
class dealing with XML parsing. Given that the IntelliJ problem seems
to be with a regex related class, I wonder if there is a certain regex
string that is triggering it. I'm all Linux at work so I'll have to
check at home tonight to see if there is something simple in common
between the JOSM classes and the IntelliJ problem.
