I wrote a note on this here:
http://jpluck.sourceforge.net/jpluck2/index.html

If you don't mind editing XML files manually, then you should definitely
choose JPluck 2.0. Aside from not being able to edit JXLs in a GUI, JPluck
2.0 is miles ahead of 0.9.

If you feel more comfortable using a GUI then you should stick with JPluck
0.9. JPluck 0.9 works well for many people, despite its shortcomings
compared to 2.0.

Programmer-types should choose JPluck 2.0.

On a related note: I wrote a page on why you should consider using jEdit to
edit your JXLs.:

I'm embarking on a commercial project for the next few months and I'm going
to need all the time I can find. (I probably won't be able to restrain
myself from updating JPluck 2 with small tweaks and fixes, though.)

Actually, my intention in documenting the JXL format was to "inspire" people
to write their own tools. You can write an editor or other tool using any
good XML library(and not just in Java). You have the JXL DTD and the
reference to guide you.

> 3. I have several email addresses for you,

The address I use on this list is the current one.
