Re: [Jmol-developers] Running Jmol using source files

Hello everybody... Yes, digging in a massive application like Jmol to understand is certainly not the way to go. But I am very short on time. Hence i resorted to this way. And yes this is an educational excercise. Ofcourse, I can use Jmol directly for my purpose but that kills the basic idea of

Pravin, The Jmol code is quite opaque because things are reused as much as possible. Since you've loaded Eclipse I suggest you follow the code by using the open declaration option in the right-button menu. This will help you dig into what is being done. You probably want to start

Pravin, Think twice before you go down this path. Unless you have many MANY hours of time, you are far better off using what is already available -- a Jmol frame in your application -- than trying to code all the graphics and user interface yourself from scratch. Project or not, no one should

Bob, I think you are missing the pedagogical point - he is not making the DNA viewer as part of a real application, this is an educational exercise. The only way he can learn how to implement a modelling solution is by building a modelling solution. However, you are absolutely correct that

Hi, You should take a look at the Wiki where detailed information is provided about building Jmol with Eclipse and Subversion. It's the easiest way to build Jmol. http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Eclipse Otherwise, the full .tar.gz available for download on sourceforge.net should be sufficient,

Hi Pravin You certainly do NOT need the CDK for building Jmol. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself. Speed compiling, find bugs proactively, and fine-tune applications for

Hi again Pravin, Do you really want to build Jmol 9 ? This is a version that is several years old and is not supported anymore (also for several years) CDK was perhaps used at that time but I don't even know for sure. Currently, the stable versions are 11.8 and the development versions are Jmol
