JavaGismu

(Updated August 27)

A java applet called JavaGismu allows you to interactively browse the gismu list and see the english translation. There is a screenshot.

I have made a jar of the applet which will allow you to run it as an application. You will also need to download gismu.gz, a compressed version of the gismu list.

"Installing"

Applet
To view the applet you need the java swing classes installed. You can view the applet in your browser or with the Java Development Kit (JDK).

On my (linux) computer I just make sure the swing.jar is my CLASSPATH variable and use the JDK directly: 

/usr/jdk118/bin/appletviewer http://lojban.sourceforge.net/JavaGismu/applet_test.html

Application
To run the application version, download the jar file and gismu file. Then run java like this (you need swing in your classpath if you don't have Java 2): 
java -cp javagismu.jar org.lojban.javagismu.JavaGismu

Using

The applet searches the gismu database as you type in a substring to search for. As you type gismu that match will be displayed in a list. Click an item to see the full info for that gismu.

It searches by gismu and the 3 rafsi fields. It doesn't match only the beginning of the word, but any substring.

When you click on a result it shows you the meaning, place structure and also creates buttons to cross-reference other gismu.

You can select to search by a specific rafsi as well if you need to.
