JOSM plugin: Paste opening hours

Converts opening hours written for humans into the OSM opening_hours syntax and applies it to the selected objects.

Mon-Fri 9am-5pm            Mo-Fr 09:00-17:00;
Sat 10-2            →      Sa 10:00-14:00;
Closed Sunday              Su off

Using it

Data → Paste opening hours… (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H), with at least one object selected.

The dialog pre-fills from the clipboard. The converted value appears below the paste box and is editable — once you type in it, the parser stops overwriting your edit until you change the pasted text again. Apply is enabled whenever the value is valid opening_hours syntax, and writes the tag through JOSM's undo stack.

Anything the parser did not understand is listed below the value rather than dropped silently.

What it handles

• Day names and ranges in any of the usual spellings: Mon, Monday, Mo, Mon-Fri, Mon/Wed/Fri, Sat & Sun, weekdays, weekends, daily
• 12- and 24-hour times: 9am-5pm, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, 06:00-11:00, noon, midnight
• Bare numbers, where am/pm is inferred: 9-5 → 09:00-17:00, 10-2 → 10:00-14:00
• Closed Sunday → Su off, 24/7 and Open 24 hours → 24/7
• Split shifts: Mon 9-12, 1-5 → Mo 09:00-12:00,13:00-17:00
• Days on their own line, the way a table pastes, and days written after the times (9am-5pm Monday through Friday)
• Table columns with no dash at all, where the opening and closing times are just separated by whitespace or tabs: Monday⇥9:00 AM⇥5:30 PM
• Open-ended hours: 10am to Close / 5pm to close → 10:00+ / 17:00+
• Food/kitchen service hours (Food served 11am-10pm) are noted rather than folded into the general schedule, since opening_hours describes access, not a specific service
• Conflicting hours given for the same day (e.g. a schedule change the parser can't tie to a date range it understands) are reported rather than merged into a broken value

Not handled: public holidays (PH), comments such as "by appointment", and seasonal or month based rules. Those show up as unrecognized text for you to add by hand.

Building

Needs a JOSM checkout with dist/josm-custom.jar built.

ant -Djosm.dir=/path/to/josm dist      # build dist/openinghours.jar
ant -Djosm.dir=/path/to/josm test      # run the parser corpus
ant -Djosm.dir=/path/to/josm install   # copy the jar to ~/Library/JOSM/plugins

After install, enable openinghours in JOSM's plugin preferences.

Unit tests use the JUnit 5 jars from ~/.ivy2/cache, which the JOSM build populates.

Layout

src/…/openinghours/parse/ holds the conversion and has no dependency on JOSM classes, so it can be tested on its own. The pipeline is:

TextNormalizer  → Tokenizer → FragmentParser → ScheduleBuilder → OpeningHoursValidator
lower case,       day/time    tokens into      per-day schedule   ch.poole parser checks
ASCII dashes,     tokens      day + time       merged into rules  and normalizes formatting
one line per                  fragments
fragment

The validator wraps ch.poole.openinghoursparser, which JOSM already ships and exposes to plugins, so nothing extra is bundled.
