Thanks for the detailed suggestion, the problem was that JOSM could not connect/validate dev url *" http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api", *i tried it now and its been validated.
My query: Instead of using text editor, why don't i 1) Select the objects i want to upload in JOSM 2) Make a new layer 3) paste the objects there 4) upload to dev server from my previous experiences this will give new id's to objects and mark them as new objects. but i don't know how this will affect the ref=* and relations. BTW i am not using relations now, but i will in near future.
