Does it work if you build josm from the command line?

In principle you can ignore this, it doesn't matter usually.

How do you compile the plugin? Try the following strategy: Start with 
some existing pluign, see if you are able to build and run it. Then 
transform it step by step into what you like to have.

It is possible to develop plugins in the IDE. (Debugging and changing 
code at runtime works as well.) Easiest way to do this in netbeans is to 
create a Free Form project and use the existing build script. Add the 
JOSM core project as a library.

The plugin ant files depend on the binary core/dist/josm-custom.jar, so 
you might want to change that to core/netbeans/dist/josm.jar.

Your plugin has a wrong constructor and the Manifest file must have the 
right form. (see other plugins)
