JOSM should have a UNIX Man page

[Ian Darwin <ian@…>]

Although JOSM is a graphical application, there should almost always be a man page as part of installing a program on *NIX. Attached is a starting point for this.

Actually I don't really se a sense in having a UNIX ma-page for a GUI oriented cross-plattform utility.

Man-pages are usually for shell tools and not for GUI-tools.

[Ian Darwin <ian@…>]

Coming from a place where documentation matters, I assert the contrary view that every user-callable major program should have a man page. Why is it so hard? I gave you the page, all you have to do is commit it :-)

I also use unix man pages for gui applications. But where should the man page be added? I do not know any mechanism to extract man pages of jar files automatic. So the man page could be added outside "core", maybe in "editors/josm/debian".

[Ian Darwin <ian@…>]

I agree with plaicy except, since it's not debian-specific, a directory like "josm/extras" or "josm/doc" or something.

Thanks
