A patch to to support getCapabilities was iirc submitted to the josm-dev mailing list once but I don't remember what happened with it. The only ticket I find now is http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/3915 which seems unrelated, but the archives of the mailing list should have it. I don't think it had a dialog to let you choose something but it might be a step if you want to implement the rest.
