[jsword-devel] API primer?

[Joe Walker]

Hi,

You shouldn't need Config at all since it is simply a layer sat on top 
of the real configuration options. If you have a look at config.xml then 
you might be able to guess what it does to setup the system though.

However the short version is this:
   org.crosswire.jsword.book.sword.SwordBookDriver.setSwordDir();

If I recall correctly it takes and array of strings that are paths to 
directories containing sword modules.

I've fixed the link and checked it back into CVS. Tonight's nightly 
build should promote it to the web site, however I think it won't help 
you since it just links to the API Examples file you already know about.

Joe.
