One possible path would be to use JSword. This is a Java implementation of
SWORD. The advantage is that it works on all platforms without having to
compile the SWORD C code for each.
If you decide to explore this route, I (and some others) can help you with how
to use JSword. The mailing list jsword-devel would be more appropriate for
discussing this.
