Sorry I have been helping and around the sword project for years but have
never really
done much with modules before. I find now that i have quite a few genbook
type modules I need to support but so far it looks like bibletime is going
to be the only viable alternative.

I have considered working with jsword but to be honest I have not done any
real java programming. It is not to different from the other languages I
know though and I am not looking forward to taking a stab at c or c++ so
that leaves me working with possibly jsword to get the functionality I want.


This would also mean that that jsword would need to support waht I need
since I would mostly be focusing on wqorking on bibledesktop. I do
understnad the differences. as in jsword being more like the libs and
bibledesktop being the front end gui.

I wanted ot change the handeling of texts texts though and also load genbook
more or less as a bible for reading. By this I mean into the same reading
area not how jsword handels genbook. I also need the ability to search
multiple items at once.  Since I noticed that you had laready implimted
lucene I figured that bibledesktop would be a good candidate for this.

Thanks.
