Comment (by kcrisman):
> > Jonathan, do we need Java 1.7 to view jsmol things, though? Also,
that means the wiki for jmol is pretty out of date.
> JSmol and Jmol work without the backend. The backend is presently just
used to make the nice static pictures, without it a less pretty Tachyon
image is generated. Ultimately, the backend should be used to package the
data as well. The present packaging method is not terribly efficient or
flexible.
Wait, wait. So is Java 1.7+ necessary to view Jmol applets from the
command line? Exactly what is it that needs 1.7? If it's just the static
images, then we could fail gracefully in the notebook to Tachyon images
when the Java is not recent enough. If I'm not understanding this
properly, sorry for the noise.
