jVLT - a vocabulary learning tool
Additional features:
- As jVLT is written in JAVA, it runs on many platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
- The data storage format is (zipped) XML, making it possible to easily convert your vocabulary into other formats, e.g. for displaying it on a web page.
- You can perform complex searches (e.g. "Show me all the words that occurred in a quiz during the last three days").
- The vocabulary list (or a part of it) can be printed.
- CSV (comma separated values) files can be used to import words and examples.

October 18th, 2007: Article about jVLT
Argancel has written a nice
article
about jVLT in his blog (written in French).
It describes installation, adding words and examples, quizzes and importing CSV
files, and thus is especially useful for first-time users.

was fixed that occurred when importing CSV files.
September 27th, 2007: Release 1.0.3
Changes: Several bugs in the latest development release have been fixed.
Furthermore, it is now possible to select the fields which are shown in the
HTML area displaying the word details. Compared to release 1.0.2, this release
offers the possibility to design custom quizzes where the field to quiz on and
the fields that are shown as a hint can be chosen. Other additions in
comparison to release 1.0.2 are two language detail files for Greek and for
Sanskrit, the latter one containing 20 word classes and 30 attributes.
September 17th, 2007: Development release 070917

select the field to quiz on and the fields which are shown as a hint. Two

contains 20 word classes and 30 attributes. It has been compiled by
Guy Leavitt.

examples.
June 17th, 2007: Release 1.0.0
Changes: Compared with the last stable release, this release
offers the possibility to store filters and brings an improved

specify examples in a CSV (comma separated values) file.
April 5th, 2007: Development release 070405
Changes: If you use jVLT's advanced filters, you would probably like to try
this new development snapshot. It allows you to store the filters by assigning
a name to them and later select them from a list. It is now also possible to
apply multiple filters successively during a quiz. That way, you can, for
example, first test all of the words from lesson X, then from lesson Y etc.
January 30th, 2007: Development release 070130
Changes: This development snapshot adds the possibility to adjust
the expiration times, that means the time after which a word becomes
active again. The release also fixes a few bugs.
November 29th, 2006: New release 0.9.3
Changes: This release allows to export words and examples into
files either in jVLT format or in CSV format. When importing
CSV files, a word can now have multiple senses. There is also
an option to play audio files automatically when you select an
entry in the word list.
