Plugins for JOSM

This is a list of all plugins available via the in JOSM integrated plugin manager.

Note for plugin developers: If you wrote a plugin and want JOSM to find it, it should be enough to add the plugin to the  OpenStreetMap Subversion Repository (SVN) and it will automatically appear on this page. If you cannot put your plugin into SVN then edit this page and insert a link to your plugin jar file into the comment section at the beginning of the page; after a few minutes your plugin will be downloaded and the MANIFEST file will be used to extract information for the table below.

Automatic Installation

See Installing plugins.

Manual Installation

If the automatic way does not work, you can install plugins manually by putting the .jar files in the plugins directory under the JOSM directory

• Under Windows, this is in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\JOSM\plugins.
• Under Vista, the plugins are located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\JOSM\plugins.
• On a Mac you will find the JOSM directory in the user directory /Users/username/.josm/plugins. The point "." in front of ".josm" indicates that this folder is invisible. To show the contents of this hidden folder, use the Finders Go to folder menu command (cmd-shift-G), and enter "~/.josm") in the dialog that pops up. Drag any plugins you'd like to install into the plugins folder.
  (You can also copy the plugin files using the command line.)
• On a Linux system you will find the JOSM directory in the user directory /home/username/.josm/plugins. The point "." in front of ".josm" indicates that this folder is invisible. To show the contents of this hidden folder, use the file manager and enter "~/.josm" in the address line (if no address line is visible just try to enter a letter and hopefully a popup to enter the address will open). Alternatively it is possible to "show hidden" files and folders in the file manager, using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H. Drag any plugins you'd like to install into the plugins folder.
  (You can also copy the plugin files using the command line.)

Now restart JOSM and the plugins should show up in the plugin list under Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins. Activate the Plugins, click on OK to save the preferences and restart JOSM once more.

Automatic update of plugins

On start-up, JOSM checks whether it has been updated and it offers to update installed plugins too. You are advised to run the updates by clicking on Update plugins. You may also skip updating, but be warned, that installed plugins could be incompatible with the new JOSM version and that they might either fail to load or fail to work as expected.

Select Do not show again if JOSM should always try the selected action without asking for confirmation. If you select this checkbox, JOSM won't display the following dialog any more:
