Description
During Java 9 compatibility effort (#11924) I wondered if modularization could be applied to JOSM, which currently is a big spaghetti-based monolithic jar.
A clean modular architecture would be a huge task (don't know if it would really be possible at all, as we have a lot of interwoven dependencies) but I'd like to see if we can achieve a more affordable intermediate state, where we could build a standalone version of JOSM validator that could be run as follows:
java -jar josm-validator.jar -o warnings.xml
This jar having no dependency on AWT/Swing/JavaFX. This way it could be run for example by a Java 9 server VM which does not include the java.desktop module.
It would not change anything on JOSM editor except probably some API changes, but as little as possible.
