== Installation ==

Copy the jar files into ~/.josm/plugins. On Windows, this is C:\Documents and Settings\<login name>\Application Data\JOSM instead.
Create a folder in there called 'plugins', and put the .jar files in there.

On Mac OS X you won't see these folders in the Finder, open Terminal to find the folders (UNIX folders with a dot as prefix are hidden). In the Finder you can "Go" > "Go To Folder..." and enter "~/.josm".
