[jsword-devel] Jsword development

[DM Smith]

Kurt,
    Thank you for your report. This was what we are trying to solve with 
the 1.0.2 release. I don't have access to a Mac with 10.3, so if you 
will be patient and try various things, I think we can get it to work. 
The error (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0) indicates that the jars 
were built by Java 1.5 and without source compatibility with Java 1.4. 
Let me rebuild the jars again and see if that works for you.
    I'll email again with a link when it is ready.
Thanks,
    DM
