[jsword-devel] Usability testing ...

[DM Smith]

Joe,
Would you comment out these jars in the bibledesktop.jnlp? (I think that 
this is easier than sending a patch for a single file.) My thought is 
that the jnlp is for the average user, zips for the tinkerer and cvs for 
developers. So jnlp should not bring down extras, the zips should 
contain all the jars and cvs, well, has everything.

<!-- These are optional. Probably of use only to developers at this point.
    <jar href="lucene-1.3-final.jar"/>
    <jar href="tar.jar"/>
-->

Also, I am curious, what leads you to believe that it is a problem w/ 
1.4.1? I did check the jar and it is signed.
