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 have to
recreate this whole process. Unless, I guess, this is a school project that
is simply for you to demonstrate that you can write code that other programs
have already done better.... Is there some point to that?
So my basic question is this: Why would you want to rewrite all this code?
Using Jmol code allows you to focus on what might be a far more interesting
project. See some of the examples provided, such as Integration.java, as a
starting point.
