Whoa, too complicated! And difficult to make work for anything less
trivial than "Hello World". Most people use Maven or Ant. Looks like the
validator plugin uses Ant.

The SVN repository is at:

http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm/plugins/validator/

I'd like to say it's as simple as just running 'ant', but it looks like
the validator build.xml assumes the location of a few jar files.

> Basically the command "javac" is the Java compiler. You run it against .java files to build .class files. The .jar is just a tarball containing a whole directory structure of source code and compiled code (.java's and .class's).

JAR files are really ZIP format, not tarballs. But that's an unimportant
detail, especially since you don't really want to be running jar or
javac manually in most cases.
