This has been designed by Karl Guggisberg. He seems to be no longer active 
in JOSM development (probably after there were some conflicts about the 
way JOSM is managed). He contributed a lot, but some of the code he wrote 
is overly complicated in my eyes, but I don't really have deep insight 
into this topic.

Conflict handling is still a field where josm needs to be improved, so 
please contribute if you have better solutions.

When you have trouble with code it is better to ask questions about the 
API and interface in general, as there probably you get better answers than 
when you ask specic code questions. After you read the specific code you 
are probably more expert than any one on this list :-)

So, and now I will try to checkin all your patches. Come back in some 
hours...
