I've been watching the jmol-dev list with feelings both of fear and 
wonderment - they have just completed a major refactoring in order to 
support an android build, and I've been looking at the new architecture 
to see how jalview might be refactored to achieve the same goals. I 
think some of the changes were already pushed into the 12.2 stream.

I'll take a look at this over the next few days and see if it can be 
rectified. If it can, I'll push changes to both the 2.7, master and 
develop branch.

Unfortunately, I was somewhat concerned that this might happen with the 
packaging. Unless there is an explicit API jar generated by a project, 
they are almost always likely to change their APIs at every release. 
Would it be possible to specify a specific Jmol.deb that Jalview.deb 
requires ?  As I understand it, the FTPmasters preserve all older versions.

I suppose the alternative would be to have a 'jalview-jmol.deb' which 
provides the latest compatible Jmol - either as a virtual package or as 
a snapshot.

Jim.
