Being the person who introduced "Lambert Zone France" in Josm, I can give my opinion about projections in plugin: Pro: - more flexible: we are not depending of the Josm developers to commit the source files although all my requests to commit newer versions of the sources have always been kindly and quickly done. But it's always difficult to depend on others. Con: - the new projection might be required in several plugins, thus we take the risk that the same stuff is developed several times or that the same projection is instanciated in Josm several times for different plugins. Perhaps the solution is to keep the original projections EPSG and Mercator in core and create a "projection" plugin collecting all projections. In this way, we use the osm subversion repository; we are sure that one projection is developed only once for all; many projections could share a common library of functions.
