  The best place to start is the introductory page at 
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/DevelopingPlugins .   There is an example 
template plugin that helps.   Just ask here for anything that's not covered.

   The general JOSM developer's guide has been recently updated and there 
are 2 helpful videos.   http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/DevelopersGuide

  (I find that Eclipse is great when it works, but it hides much of the 
activity which makes it hard to troubleshoot when things go wrong)
