I'm getting started as an Open Street Map contributor. I have mostly questions at this point, but I've been reading on the OSM Wiki and other sources of information on-line.
I'm an open source Java programmer, so I was (of course) most interested in JOSM. I downloaded the program yesterday and gave it a trial run. It seems to work pretty slick. Most of my Java programming work is done as a volunteer for OpenJUMP, which is also a mapping/GIS program. I would imagine JOSM and OpenJUMP share a lot of the same functionality. I would like to tentatively offer my support for the development of JOSM, as I plan on using it as my principle software tool for OSM contributions. This brings me to my first couple JOSM questions: [1] Is there a developer's guide avialable? What about other programmer documentation or tutorials? [2] Can the Javadoc for JOSM be accessed online? [3] It looks like JOSM can be extended with plug-ins. Where do I learn more about creating a plug-in? I'd also like to learn if JOSM programmers think there would be any opportunities to share code with OpenJUMP, or to port OpenJUMP functionality to JOSM. I look forward to learning more about how I might contribute to JOSM development.
