JMol/JChemPaint CMLRSS Tutorial
- Get Jmol from http://jmol.sourceforge.net/download/
(Jmol10.zip or later). Unzipping will produce a folder
containing the file Jmol.jar.
- Ensure you have previously installed a Java runtime
environment (JRE) on your system, currently at version
1.4.2_7.
- You need to identify your $HOME directory on the machine
you are using. On Unix-like systems, this is normally
something like /Users/rzepa. Windows (XP) users have
it as C:\Documents and Settings\rzepa.
- Into $HOME, place the Jmol.jar file.
- Into $HOME, create a new folder, named exactly as
.jmol (note the dot before the name!).
- Into $HOME/.jmol place the file rssviewer.opml (after
editing to your choices)
- In $HOME/.jmol, create a sub-folder called
plugins
- Into $HOME/.jmol/plugins, place rssviewer.jar (after
unzipping it).
- Run Jmol.jar (by double clicking, or from a cmd line,
invoking java -jar Jmol.jar )
- Expose the RSS menu thus.
- Repeat for JChemPaint (a structure editor), placing
the plugin files into $HOME/.jchempaint/
