I have asked the maintainer of JChemPaint if he could give us a
short report on the development.

He did (please find it below):


The following is a brief status report on some past and recent
developments of JChemPaint, a structure editor written in Java.
After release 1.0, we decided to convert JChemPaint to be based on
our new java toolkit for structural chemoinformatics - the Chemistry
Development Kit (CDK). This major conversion effort has take quiete
a while, mainly because there was a lot of development with the CDK
itself. The CDK has now been officially published as

C. Steinbeck, Y. Han, S. Kuhn, O. Horlacher, E. Luttmann, and E.
Willighagen, Journal of Chemical Information & Computer Sciences,
43, 493 (2003).
http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ci025584y

With this major achievement, we could then focus on porting the
current features of JChemPaint 1.0 to the CDK-based version, which
we now refer to as JChemPaint-CDK or just JCPCDK :-)
This is almost done now. Interested developers are referred to the
JCPCDK tree on sourceforge (http://jchempaint.sourceforge.net).

A 2.0 release of JCP should follow soon.

Cheers,

Christoph
