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.
<br><br>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.
<br><br>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.
<br><br>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.
