Hi Harvey,

I'm the author of WMTS images idea. To get you started, you can look
at: http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ and you can find there information
how to get the code:
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download#Source

For development environment I use plain Eclipse, and JOSM project is
quite self-contained, so you do not need to download external
dependencies. You'll find build.xml that you can use to build the jar.
Bear in mind that JOSM is using Java 7 for now.

To get acquainted with WMTS protocol, I recommend you to take a look
at: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wmts where the WMTS
protocol is specified.

Cheers,

Wiktor
