[jsword-devel] jnlp/jsword.jar/Books does not have installed() method

[Joe Walker]

Hi Norbert,

Sorry to to reply earlier. I've changed the Book register process so 
that the threading is optional, and defaults to single-threaded.
I've also made it a 'Job' so you see progress in the GUI.
This should stop the race conditions, I'll make sure it gets build to 
the jnlp dir tonight.

Joe.
