Classpath 0.91 is released with 1.45 million lines of code and with 98.96% coverage of Java 1.4.2, and 99.82% of java.swing. Or, as Dave calls it: 0.91 rocks! JChemPaint runs again (they fixed the XML parsing problem), and Jmol still runs , but slow. I also tested Taverna which now also starts up, but has an XML parsing error too: Exception occured whilst loading RDFS!

This evening I have been looking at with the KNOPPIX customization howto, and ran many of the interesting commands. I’ve setup a environment with Kalzium, OpenBabel, CDK, jython, PyMOL, and for development I included gcj and Eclipse. At some later point I will include kfile_chemical too, but I want to make a deb package first.

After asking about it, Tom explained me how Taverna can pick up the apiconsumer.xml file from jars: just copy it into the root directory of the jar package. Easy as that. So, users now only need to copy the cdk-taverna.jar into the taverna-workbench-1.3/lib/ directory and have a nice chemoinformatics workbench environment. I’ll upload the jar to CDK’s project page right now.
