I would be interested in helping with java versions of Sword as well. I had hoped to use Sword for a web based project I am working on now for my masters degree, but the java stuff available doesn't provide enough functionality yet. I would be glad to dig in and help although I might not be able to provide much focus on it until August/September.
What a blessing it would be to extend Sword to to the online world in addition to those with PCs/PDAs. With the advancing of internet appliances into many homes, airports, hotels, malls, libraries, etc, wouldn't be awesome to provide Sword's features to anyone without restricting it to having a machine to install it on.

I'm also interested in helping out with the java port. Could someone point me to what has already been done? Those of us interested in helping with jsword might usefully get a discussion going which could lead to coordinated effort. Getting ahead of myself a little, one idea I've just had for the interface is to allow lookup in online versions. My view of the web is a little like an extension of my personal file space :), and I want to be able to access it as easily as I do the sword modules on my hard disk, and even not need to be aware of which versions I have locally and which are remote. This would also bypass the copyright issue for those versions everyone wants but can't get. Ideally, it ought to be possible to use it without even installing any modules locally. As a precedent of how convenient this can be, I'd mention the dict client. I would also like to see links for each verse to CCEL's world wide study bible sermons etc. For anyone with an always-on connection( which is increasingly a large portion of people ) these would, I think, be interesting features.
