[josm-dev] My first plugin: DirectDownload (and some help needed)

[Hartmut Holzgraefe]

Hi,

i finally sat down over the weekend to create my first JOSM plugin
to be able to download tracks i previously uploaded to osm.org
directly into JOSM without having to do the download via browser
first and then having to find and open the locally downloaded
gpx file with JOSM.

A few details and links to current source and a compiled .jar
can be found on

 
http://www.php-groupies.de/blogs/archives/34-My-first-JOSM-plugin-Direct-GPX-track-download.html

Right now i'm doing synchronous download of the track list
so the download dialog will only show up after the track
list has been loaded completely.

For rather obvious reasons i'd like to have a progress bar
dialog show up during that operation, but looking at how
these are implemented in JOSM i've lost track of what is
where and how it all plays together.

So i'm looking for a bit of help in this area from someone
who has already done some work in that area and knows how
the whole thing ticks ...
