Guys,

Before there was the Tsaphan project I had another project called
JScripture which allows verses to be downloaded from the Net.  BAsically
it would parse verses (aka screen scrape;) retrieved from
biblegateway.com.  The verses are then stored locally to a serialized
Java object.  Well now with the Tsaphan project the verses are no longer
stored in serialized objects but directly to disk in the database.  

So here's my problem:  JScripture supported all versions NIV, NASB, KJV,
NKJV, etc and Tsaphan supports only the NASB.  I would like to use the
JScripture parsing algo to grab the verses and store them to a database
so that the data can be offered in the tsaphan project.  

So basically there will be hacking involved.  Instead of the verses
being stored to a Java object, which only another jscripture client can
read, we want to store that data into the database.  The hack is to
redirect the "local-cache" feature of JScripture and dump the data to
the db.

If anybody is interested in this hack please let me know!  This is a
good oppurtunity for the Java guys to contribute!

You can download the jscripture jar from

Click on the latest vesion and look at the notes and changelog for
directions.

The source for the GospelComReader (I think I grabbed verses from
gospelcom.net) is at

(try to piece this very long URL since most email clients break this up)

The class was originally written in Jan 30, 2001 so a lot has happened
since then! but it still works!
