[josm-dev] code re-use for mobile OSM?

[S.B.Hawkins]

hi there,

i'm new to the mailing list but i'm currently working on a final year
university project involving OSM. The basis of it is getting the map displayed
on a mobile device.
I was hoping it would be possible to make use of some of the code involved in
JOSM? Obviously it would be made clear this was not my own intellectual
property in the project itself, would this be possible??
Also, i've been to
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/
but i'm a little unsure of where to look for what i'm after making use of.
I was hoping to make use of JOSM's ability to read the OSM files and inform
myself  of how to then work with those results. Could someone point me in the
right direction??

Sorry if this is rather long, i have quite a few questions! :-)

thanks in advance for your help!
