Error while loading ProB UI

Hi, I've been using ProB UI from January to March and now I want to open the application and breaks while loading throwing this error:

com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors:

It seems like the config file is malformed. Can you show its contents? The default location on Windows is %LOCALAPPDATA%\STUPS\prob2-ui\config_v3.json. I suspect it might be empty. If it is you can just delete the file.

I added some safe guards so corruption of json files is less likely to happen again.
