[sword-devel] Faster searching wanted

[Bobby Nations]

Nathan,

My two cents.

JSword is in very, very early stages (pre-alpha) at the moment.  There 
is a separate CVS module dedicated to JSword, but the code is still 
unusable.  Troy began porting the C++ code some time back, and a few 
folks picked up the ball on it but it hasn't been advanced very far.  We 
were making some progress on it until the servers got hacked and then 
everyone got busy getting 1.5.3 out the door.  I know, I know, excuses, 
excuses :-|

There are discussions ongoing as to the road ahead at the following two 
places:

http://sword.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Jsword/WebHome
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=160106

Take a look at the two URL's above to see if they help you any.

Cheers,

Bobby
