Hi Nathiesha, For this particular project, I'd recommend that you familiarize yourself with the editing options that JOSM provides. Fell free to install many plugins and see how they integrate into JOSM.
You should also get familiar with the menu code, starting at the MainMenu class. It currently has a lot of public fields and other ugly code. You should develop a cleanup plan for both the source code and the the visual menu. Feel free to use object-oriented approaches. The new menu should be compatible to the old API as good as possible, since all JOSM plugins depend on it and we don't want to break them all. You can use the adapter pattern for this, so don't worry too much about it.
