Hi Li I would recommend using Biojava or Biopython for the kind of development you want to do. Both have a lot of the features that you are looking for already implemented. For Biojava for instance, I can point you to this tutorial:

Hi, I am new to ccp4. I am writing to check the possibility to use ccp4 as a platform to develop my software. I was wondering whether I could get the following information from ccp4 after I input a pdb file: 1. chemico-physical properties of each residue, such as hydrophobicity, side chain

Dear Li Xue, The questions you are asking are more the domain of protein structure bioinformatics than X-ray crystallography. The CCP4 has a series of these programs available, but their collection is limited. May I suggest that you also look at http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/gv/facilities/. There
