The CDK 2D renderer currently used in JChemPaint can be very easily used=20
in other applications (see our MyNMRShiftDB stand-alone client and our=20
recently developed ASPECT spectrum viewer).
Admittedly, JCP is still far away from being as good as the marvin applet=

Egon and I know that there is an urgent need for a rewrite of the=20

encapsulation of single draw procedures into actions in order to provide=20
redo/undo capabilities.
Peter: Besides this, would we be able to create a list of shortcomings=20
which need to be removed in order to make JCP usable for you?

Cheers,
