Upload Potlatch2 XML Raw data using JOSM

I've recently got a zero-length way error editing in Potlatch2, so it doesn't allow me to upload the changeset. I've found the error so now i have the corrected Potlatch2 code ( <osmchange version="0.6">...</osmchange> ) and i want to upload it. I've heard that is possible using JOSM, but I've neved used it and when I try to open de XML file (adding <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> in the begining) it says "No data found".

Any ideas?

It is in Portuguese (use your favorite translator), but the essence is:

Click the View Data button in PL2 and copy all the data.
Paste it in your favourite text editor, do not forget to use the UTF-8 format.
Edit the file correcting the mistakes. Be careful with the XML format and character escaping!
Remove all references to the failed changeset from the XML code, in the form of changeset="1234" (Of course "1234" is the ID of your CS and not the number 1234... Take note of your CS#)
Save it as myChange.osc (OSMChange) (or whatever name you prefer)
Open JOSM and open the .osc file
Upload the changes, setting the option of using an existing, open, changeset. Use the Changeset Id you took note before.

That's it, worked a few times for me.
