The Java frontend, does it use the Sword libraries or will there be Java code for reading Sword modules?

JSword is implementing routines to read Sword modules natively in Java. I don't know their progress, but it's a big task. There's also an
advantage in porting from C++ to Java in that the two are similar enough
that porting is made simpler and (if nothing else) someone who can write
Java can probably read C++ reasonably well. (I know that's a BIG
assumption of Java programmers--no offense to the JSword team, just Troy.)

We are doing OK over in JSword. I would say we are at parity with C++ Sword with most things. Exceptions being UI support for Lex/Dict and Concordances and in reading some compressed Sword modules. I hope we will be done with that in a month or so.
