We've talked about working on it, and it is one of our goals, but we
have never worked on it.
You will need jsword-common-1.0.7.jar as well.
Our software requires Java 1.4. Most phones use a very trimmed version
of Java which is far less than that. Most are CDC-1.0.
You might find Eclipse a good environment to develop. See:
http://eclipseme.org/ for details.
Let us know what you find out!
