Tim,
A good place to find out how active JSword and Sword are is on their development mailing lists, jsword-devel and sword-devel
You can join them or visit their archives. If you had scanned their archives, you would have seen that both are very active.
You can join sword-devel here: (Which obviously you have already done)
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/lists/index.jsp
Their archives are here:
http://www.crosswire.org/pipermail/sword-devel/
JSword is tracking their progress at http://www.crosswire.org/bugs under BibleDesktop, Common and JSword. (These are GUI, utilities and infrastructure respectively).
You can join jsword-devel (or their other mailing lists) and get to their archives from here:
http://www.crosswire.org/jsword/maillists.html
For JSword, you can stay abreast of the changes by going to their download site and linking to the nightly release.
http://www.crosswire.org/bibledesktop/download.html
Both Sword and JSword have significant activity.
Both are readying for a release: Sword will be releasing 1.5.8 and JSword will be releasing 0.9.9.
Personally, I am developing JSword with others and I am putting in over 20 hours a week. My hope is to have a release on Good Friday. But, we won't release before the software is ready.
In His service, DM

Heyas, sorry for the wide distro for an easy question, but I can't seem to find the question anywhere else. Is anyone actually still developing for JSword specifically or the Sword project either? I haven't seen any significant activity in a good long time. If not, does anyone know why?
Thanks, Tim
