Jmol building notes Building Jmol properly requires three projects: Jmol JSmol JSpecView - JSpecView: Jmol needs JSpecView's jar file, so if there are changes, to JSpecView, start there. The build.xml in JSpecView will copy files to Jmol (to appletfiles/ and jars/). - Jmol: update org.jmol.viewer.Jmol.properties and check it in so that it gets a new time stamp. Jmol.properties is also used by JSmol (along with all the Jmol java files). - JSmol: run: build_01_fromjmol.xml build_02_fromjspecview.xml build_03_tojs_stable.xml This produces the minified files. Test files are in site/jsmol. - JSmol: Update and check in jsmol files buildzip.xml can also be used to just create the ZIP file.
