This option pertains to the Advanced Search dialog, where you can  
prioritize the search result. The number of verses that is returned is  
configurable by a slider, where 0 means show all the verses. The  
slider defaults to the number set by "Default Number of Matched  
Verses". I think this starts at 20.

We've never really figured out what to call this. When the user types  
something into the "Show Passages" this setting indicates whether BD  
is allowed to rewrite it or not. If Persistent Naming is not set, then  
BD will re-write, using either full or abbreviated Bible book names  
depending on what the user has set in options.

I thought I had fixed that. I have now and will be checking it in  
shortly.

Thanks for the input, I am reverting to the old ones.

I knew it would work externally. I'm surprised that it does not work  
when invoked within Eclipse.

jsword.home is not actually used as the classpath. JSword has it's own  
ClassLoader which effective prepends JSword home to the classpath.

This is what I would have suggested if you are launching within  
Eclipse. I might figure out another way. But as long as you have a  
workable solution, I'm inclined to work on other things.

These are warnings that there is an option mentioned in the module  
that is not specified correctly. I have all the modules installed and  
I get a few of these on some of the beta modules. I think all the  
other current modules have the correct values in their conf.
