[OSM-talk] JOSM Name Finder Plugin

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    I have tied David Earl's name finding service into the JOSM download 
dialog via a simple plugin. If you have a JOSM version downloaded on 18 
May or later, installing this plugin should give you an extra tab on the 
download dialog called "places", where you can enter any string and then 
select from whatever David's service returns.

This is really just a proof of concept and there is a lot that can and 
should be improved. I mainly intended this as a proof that my mechanism 
for plugins to add new tabs to the download dialog is really working 
(and as an example of how to do it), and I would be quite happy if 
someone would make this into a nice & polished extension (or make an 
entirely new name finder to replace this one).

It's in SVN, under applications/editors/JOSM/plugins/namefinder. There's 
also a jar file for those who do not want to compile it themselves, but 
note you will need the newest josm-latest.jar for this to work!

Bye
Frederik
