Yes. Last time I tried I found that the assumptions that JSword made about names being in all lower case, which is true in the CrossWire repositories, is not true in the Xiphos repository. I never brought it up to Karl because it was not a pressing issue.

Either Xiphos repository needs to change or JSword needs to accommodate.

It might work now. Haven't tested it for a while.

I recommend: not until it works.

When I added beta to JSword the modules there were pretty good. Now many of them are experimental. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have added it.
