It is a feature of JSword to have a reading plan. I've been working on JSword now for almost 10 years and it was there when I started.

I think that it was a proof of concept that one could have modules other than SWORD modules. But it was made visible in Bible Desktop from the start as a built-in reading plan.

There have been several request for users to be able to build their own reading plans. Douglas has just asked about these wrt Pericope.

The other thing that JSword's reading plans have is internationalization of the name of the reading plan.

JSword does support these. A SWORD Daily Devotion is far more than just a list of verses per day, though it can be that.
