[josm-dev] Alpha: Browser-Plugin for JOSM

[Francisco R. Santos]

Hi Tobias,

Did you look at the OpenLayers plugin that I commited to SVN[1] some time
ago?. That plugin is just a proof of concept that uses a swing browser
inside JOSM. The problem is that IE and Mozilla are heavyweight browsers
that don't integrate well with lightweight programs (swing, like JOSM), so
the solution I found is using a swing browser like Cobra[2]

Regards,
Quico
