I wanted to do so because I'm creating an android app that uses the
mapsforge library, and I was trying to convert downloaded osm data to the
"mapsforge format" to use it later in offline mode, and the way mapsforge
converts from osm to its internal map format is by using an osmosis plugin,
so I thought it may be possible to perform that task in the device itself.

but nevertheless, if you want to achieve this, you need to implement those

Ok, many thanks. I'll start to fiddle with it right away.
