[josm-dev] Duplicate Way plugin obsolete?

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

Hasn't the functionality of the duplicate way plugin by Brent Easton
been completely replaced by Copy/Paste in JOSM core? The plugin itself
uses segments and it looks like it hasn't worked since API 0.4.

I ask because I wanted to create a little plugin to create duplicate
ways (as per validator nomenclature) and I was surprised to find that
this existed (along with the "grid" plugin it's the only one whose
build is completely disabled).

If it has indeed been usurped by core I'd like to delete it & claim
the namespace for my tiny plugin.

In case anyone's wondering I'd like to duplicate ways (i.e. create a
new way using the exact same nodes as an existing way) because
sometimes you're tracing e.g. a political boundary and need to make it
follow a coastline or something similar.
