Well, Sunrise uses its own SDL format, instead of JXL, so you can't use the files from the JPluck site. There are some example SDLs provided in the distribution: BBC News, Christian Science Monitor and New York Times. I will provide more examples with the next update. (Due next week, I will try to post weekly updates.)
In the future, I want to provide an online Showcase where people can upload and share their SDL definitions. There should also be an option to automatically synchronize your SDL with the latest online copy. (I.e. "check for updates".) This ensures that you always have the most up-to-date definitions. (I always get a barrage of e-mail when the New York Times changes something on their site that causes the JXL to stop working correctly. I want to avoid that in the future.)

This is because it uses a native Windows UI, rather than Swing. You've probably noticed that the interface feels as responsive as any other Windows application. Sunrise and other SWT apps like
Azureus and
RSSOwl do not suffer from that familiar sluggish feel associated with Java apps and load much faster.
Startup might become a bit slower once you have more downloads in the cache, though. I've not optimized the startup procedure yet, so there's some gain to be made here.
