Me too. I'm fine with the error handling in both the Jmol application and
the JmolApplet (except for the missing line/column numbers :-) ).

My first approach (obviously?) was to look into the process flow implemented
by Jmol and then write a wrapper to reuse those classes and methods. That is
run the same tests as in the Jmol check on "compiler" level and evaluation
level. But as i figured out this might be impossible right now.
E.g. in "Eval.java" an instance of "Viewer" is required, IIUC.

Indeed; my aim is to implement a java tool (syntax checker) that may run as
a standalone (batch job / ant task) application as well as being inserted as
a filtering component on the server side *and* uses the same tests as Jmol.
