No, not in 1.2.x. There are too many changes required in the CDK
library itself to make that possible. I did that last summer, but
backporting things is just too much manual work.

CDK 1.3.x, on the other hand, no longer requires API changes, and you
can use the rendering code as add-on.

I also like to comment that CDK 1.3.x is not as shaky as the 1.1.x
series was. We now have a peer-review system, which very much reduced
the number of broken versions in Git, and the patches are much more
mature when they hit the archive.

Even though the 1.3.x series is open to API changes, the peer-review
systems causes the rate of those changes to be not so large as you
would expect from an old world SVN trunk.

And, to anyone who'd like to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3, please feel
welcome, and you'll get all the feedback you need to make the
transition. I still hope that API changes in the future will be
accompanied with new code examples (like Jmol-Bob always does), but
that is not yet a requirement.
