JOSM/Plugins/Building Generalization

Building-Generalization plugin allows the user to correct angle of buildings to 90 degrees, and aligns all loaded buildings to nearest road.

Summary

Using this plugin, you are able to modify the angles of all buildings from the current layer to 90 degrees . One thing to note is the fact that are corrected only the angles with the value between 84-96 degrees . Also, after this step, the buildings are aligned with the closest road(way) .If the road is shorter than the current building, that building is not aligned.
