I couldn't locate copy right information on The Jewish Annotated New Testament. If it isn't in Public Domain, then it would take a (generally) long and complex effort to obtain permission to create and distribute it before it could be distributed here.

I don't know if this would be useful, but The nearest thing I can locate is:
The Complete Jewish Bible
An English Version of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and B'rit Hadashah (New Testament) by David H. Stern.

It is a commercial (premium) module distributed by eStudySource Here is the blurb for it:

The Complete Jewish Bible for e-Sword
B0009
David Stern
Messianic Jewish Publishers
PRICE: $14.99
*Format: e-Sword PC & iPad®. Also on Mac® using this solution.

Presenting the Word of God as a unified Jewish book, The Complete Jewish Bible is a translation for Jews and non-Jews alike. It connects with the Jewishness of the Messiah, and non-Jews with their Jewish roots. Names and key terms are returned to their original Hebrew and presented in easy-to-understand transliterations, enabling the reader to pronounce them the way Yeshua (Jesus) did! The New Testament was also written by Jews, initially for Jews. Its central figure was a Jew. His followers were all Jews. This translation uniquely communicates its original, essential Jewishness.

It sounds like the editors took the New Revised Standard Version and inserted notes into the New Testament which gives an insight into the first century Judaism which is the wellspring from which Christianity grew. The publication date is late 2011. I suspect that it would be somewhat difficult to breach the copyright barrier.

This New York Times article gives some insight:

I think I've got another book to put on my must read list.

As far as I'm aware there isn't one for e-Sword. I just tried to find a pdf copy of one without success. About the only one that is available is for Kindle, and apparently its available for free at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com).
