There does not exist a download page, yet.
That's because I'm tied up getting the manuscript finished so that I'll have
time to set up something, perhaps at sourceforge.net, or, maybe something
within O'Reilly's collabnet setting.

jTME is a Java system, using the latest Swing technology and so forth.  The
program uses HypersonicSQL, an open source Java RDBMS as it data store.  If
I am able to pull it off, one should ultimately be able to plug in different
database engines.  In its full-monty implementation, it will include a
graphical user interface along with the textual one illustrated on the web
page.  I don't expect to have that feature implemented before the book is
published.  But then, things could change :-)

Thus far, jTME has been able to import and manipulate two different XTM 1.0
documents, and has successfully served as an editor for the construction of
a simple XTM 1.0 document. Plans are to soon be able to build sophisticated
topic maps as well.  Export doesn't work yet: it seems to die somewhere in
the toString() mechanism, most likely when the Java heap fills up.  Lots of
work left.

In the end, its development will continue in the open source community.
