[jsword-devel] another bible viewer based on JSword API

[Tonny Kohar]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your detailed feedback, it really help me to pinpoint the bug.

- regarding the chmod +x executable indeed it is a bug, it should be
alkitab (instead of citra), the funny things is this is not picked up
by me although I develop the application on Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy gibbon)
:)
- regarding the exception thrown (NullPointerException), I think it is
because the module/book you are using is not yet indexed by the Apache
Lucene engine. I should add reindex preferences dialog or prompt the
user when particular book is not yet indexed.
- regarding RTOL or LTOR this is I need to investigate further,
because I am not language expert (I do not know that persian is RTOL)
and see what can I do.

Now go back to coding and try to fix all the mentioned bug.

Cheers
Tonny Kohar
