Progress on the proof of concept

Hi All

Attached a screenshot of the progress...

Just to let you know that i've now added the start browser thing, which seems to work quite well and is quite fast.
So it starts the browser up when you start the application. I came across

https://jdic.dev.java.net JDIC which seems to do the same, or allow the developer to do the same in Java 1.4. Not sure exactly what that would support though.
(got i from http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0071.html) which suggests might work for Macs too

Attached a screenshot of the progress I made today...
JavaDB is now running in the background and holding some dummy data. as a proof of concept, I've just hard coded the reference Exodus 1 as a cell, but we'd want to find a good way of cross referencing the data in STEP and the data in JSword (and for somethings we may want to use JSWORD modules to store STEP data).

0- Server, database, browser start pointing to the GWT application
1- JavaDB with sample data
2- on Searching for Exodus 1 and clicking search, the passage is displayed in pretty HTML
3- Also looks in JavaDB (Apache Derby database) and picks up a list from the "history table of contents" table with reference to the passage that was executed.
4- The list is displayed on the screen next to the passage. The GWT component used is in accordion thing where the list folds and unfolds when you click to see one of the items showing the data dynamically (at the moment no data tied in)

I think that's enough as a proof of concept, and maybe a start as an application, or at least a platform to start some design if we go for this approach.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions... I think the next step in the PoC will be to see how easy it is to package the whole thing up, if possible as a single jar file or set of jars...
