[OSM-talk] New Lakewalker JOSM plugin release

[Jason Reid]

A new version of the lakewalker plugin is now available. This release 
features a substantial change to the original plugin that Brent Easton 
put together to interface with Daryl Shpak's python script, in that the 
actual work of the plugin has been ported to Java and included within 
the plugin. This means that the Python script is no longer required, and 
should allow easier use. The native Java version also runs substantially 
faster, and doesn't get stuck in loops as often as the Python version 
did. The python script can still be used (via a second menu item) if you 
already have it installed however.

There is one setting change that must be made to use the Java only 
version, in that the threshold value must be increased (around 90-110 
seems to be suitable) due to differences between what Java and Python 
report the intensity of grey being.

You can download the updated plugin via the interface in JOSM, or 
directly from
