Tried to answer this a few days ago, but it didn't go through. The JVM
allows the server to run a headless version of Jmol to generate high
quality static images. If the JVM is not available things default to the
lower quality Tachyon images (with some work those cold be made better).
The other reason to keep this is that if I ever finish sorting out the
issues caused by the attempts to kill Java applets in browsers, I can
begin to utilize this server-side engine to make much more efficient and
adaptable packages of data to send to the browser for viewing.
