Re: [Jmol-developers] New developer question

Hi,   Welcome to Jmol :)   I don't think there is a lot of documentation about the Java code except the Javadoc itself which you can build using ant (it's the javadoc target of the build.xml file). You also have a short developers guide that can be found from http://www.jmol.org/docs. For what I have seen, don't expect to find a full documentation of the source code.   Have you already set up a development environment for Jmol (java, source code, IDE, ...) ? It's a lot better to have it set up to try to build Jmol and see how it is done. If not, my personal suggestion would be to use Eclipse as an IDE (see the developers guide for a description of how to use Eclipse with Jmol) if you don't already have a preferred IDE.   It's always require some work to enter a project :( One way to become more familiar with the code is to contribute small parts and then move on with bigger contributions.   Feel free to ask questions.   Nicolas   ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Bunn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 6:47 PM Subject: [Jmol-developers] New developer question I am having difficulty finding documentation on the Java code for the jmol program.  I found the docs for the scripting language.  I am new to this jmol program and would like to study it thoroughly before I try to contribute anything.  I was hoping somewhere there is documentation for each class.  I have to admit that I am fairly new to Java, but do know C++ pretty well.  I would appreciate any help on this matter anyone can offer.  Thank you.                                                                                                     Robert Bunn
