=== Integrating apertium-viewer with lttoolbox-java ===

I have worked on integrating lttoolbox-java with apertium-viewer. You might be asking: what for? Doesn't apertium-viewer work correctly without it? Well, it does, but this brings some advantages as well. First of all, we don't depend on external programs like the C++ version of Apertium. At the same time, thanks to the caching feature previously described, the performance improvement is incredible. Apart from that, it opens the doors to use language pair packages with apertium-viewer as well, and it would even be possible to directly use online packages with it.

External processing is still optional in the current implementation (which can be found, as usual, at http://javabog.dk:8080/apertium-viewer/launch.jnlp): it is disabled by default, but it can be activated in the app preferences. Also, internal processing requires to have JDK and lttoolbox-java installed in the user's machine (apertium-viewer will try to switch to external processing if they are not found). I am currently working on direct generation of bytecode for transfer, which would solve these two dependency problems (see the next point). So, once again, this is still under development, and major changes can be expected.

'''Update''': I'm finished with direct generation of bytecode for transfer, but I haven't adopted it on apertium-viewer yet. I will do it soon.
