Yes - they're an ESRI shop - it's arcserver 10. I had no idea they
were sharing out their data in this manner. It's actually quite
shocking considering if you look at their prices for data. <br>
<br>
I've seen talk of a plugin for JOSM....and I've searched and haven't
found one. I figure this has the chance of happening more and more
and being a good problem - counties/cities sharing their data
out...well - at least imagery. <br>
<br>
Anywho, <br>

<div>The county must be running ESRI stuff on their back end,
which is why they are exposing their data via ESRI's REST API.
That would also explain why their imagery is supported in
ESRI's tools.</div>

<div>JOSM would need to support this ESRI REST API in order for
you to consume the county's data. If JOSM doesn't already have
this support baked in, it may be able to be added to JOSM via
a plugin. That might be a worthwhile endeavor if a lot of
agencies are starting to publicly expose their data via this
API.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>By the way, if I recall correctly, JOSM uses another ESRI
API for USGS imagery, which is based on XML web services
(which is way more complicated and verbose than REST). So if
JOSM is able to use that ESRI API, I have to think support can
be added for this other one.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But I'm nary the JOSM expert. Is there a JOSM mailing list?</div>
