Extracting text from a Java application

Hello,

I've bought some kind of Java application, the Spanish
Dictionary,
which was originally written for Linux RedHat. With some
tweaking
of the boot-up script LAXUNIX.SH - LaunchAnywhere (tm) I
managed to
run it as well in FreeBSD 6.x

The Dictionary has on the right part of the screen a list of
all
(official known by The Real Academy) words of the Spanish
language
and it would be nice to have this list as a plain text file
to
integrate is with 'ispell' in FreeBSD. The words are
click-able,
on click the background colour changes and the explanation
for the
word is presented in the right part of the application. I've
put
a screen-shoot to my web space so you will get an idea:
http://www.unixarea.d
e/drae.jpg

I'm only interested in the word list of the left side, but I
can't
see any way to get it cut&pasted. I've already
investigated a bit
the X11 traffic to the server and this could be the last
option
to pull the words out... any other idea from the Java
gurus?

Thx in advance

If I made such an application I would include a text file
with all the  
words. So no need to trick the application to capture X11
traffic.
You can also try the tool strings(1) to extract words from
the files in  
the application.

But I thick you should first read the license of the
application if the  
creator of the application likes you to do this.

Ronald.
