[sword-devel] SWORD Java support?

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Chris,
	You can check out module 'jsword' from our CVS repository.  It
currently has all of our Java work.  You won't be able to traverse a
module, but you can use SWMgr to examine what modules are installed for
a sword install and get some other information.  There are the
beginnings of things in there that will allow you to read a module, but
work stopped at VerseKey.  I've been wanting to rewrite VerseKey.cpp for
some time now and thought it not a good time to port the existing code
to Java.  For an example, go to our module download page on our website
and view the list of some module type (Bibles, Commentaries, etc.).  At
the end of the list, there will be a link to source for ModDisp.jsp 
This is where you will see the Java code in action.

		-Troy.
