Dear Tony,

I originally did the software for the KJV2003 project. It was initially a quick hack together to help volunteer work in parallel on the project. I thought that some time ago I started work to update it to the latest engine and 'genericize' it so other projects could use it. I did some hunting and found it in the sword-tools repo at:

http://crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/paralleltag/

There is a Makefile for building the binary part and a build.xml file for building the java part, so a basically if you check it out and do:

make
ant

you should end up with something you can use and also modify and rebuild.

I spent a little time tonight adding a first cut of your requested feature. If you add an entry in ModEdit.properties

contextMod=KJV

then when you click a word, other verses with that word will show up displayed with the KJV. It's ugly, but should give you a starting point. If you'd like to see specifically what code I touched to add this and where you can improve it's impl, have a look (ignoring file rename and deletion cruft) at the most recent diff in svn:

svn diff http://crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/ -r175:176

About setting up the tool in general, unfortunately there are no instructions on how to prime your target module for editing. I somehow remember something strange needing to be done like changing all spaces to '_', or maybe that was just with early versions of the software.

In anycase, Alkitab shows your experience in Java, so I'm sure you'd do quite a good job adding new features. And please let me know if you'd like commit access to the repository. My apologies up front for the java code. I'm sure I was frantically trying to get something to work for the project and spent no real time trying to make the code maintainable.

Blessings in your work!

        -Troy.

Hi,

Does anyone here know the author of ModEdit program which is listed in
http://crosswire.org/sword/kjv2003/ ?
Because I like to request feature of word context for this application.
eg: a new window/textpane opened up with the verses list/text that the
current highlighted word is used.

Cheers
Tonny Kohar
