Jmol is a free, open source molecule viewer for students, educators, and researchers in chemistry and biochemistry.

It is cross-platform, running on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/Unix systems. 

• The JmolApplet is a web browser applet that can be integrated into web pages.
• The Jmol application is a standalone Java application that runs on the desktop.
• The JmolViewer is a development tool kit that can be integrated into other Java applications.

Major Features:

1. Free, open-source software licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License
2. Applet, Application, and Systems Integration Component
   • The JmolApplet is a web browser applet that can be integrated into web pages. It is ideal for development of web-based courseware and web-accessible chemical databases. The JmolApplet provides an upgrade path for users of the Chime plug-in.
   • The Jmol application is a standalone Java application that runs on the desktop.
   • The JmolViewer can be integrated as a component into other Java applications.
3. Multi-language
   • Translated into multiple languages: Catalan (ca), Chinese (both zh_CN and zh_TW) Czech (cs), Dutch (nl), French (fr), German (de), Hungarian (hu), Italian (it), Korean (ko), Portuguese - Brazil (pt_BR), Spanish (es), Turkish (tr), (in addition to the native American English, en-US, and British English, en-GB).
   • Automatically adopts the language of the user's operating system, if it is among the translations available. You can change to another language if desired.
   • For up-to-date details or instructions for adding your language, see the Wiki.

Requirements:

• The Jmol web browser applet may run on most browser Java Virtual Machines, including the Microsoft and Netscape 4.7* implementations of the Java 1.1 JVM. If you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer on the Windows operating system you should upgrade to the Sun Java Virtual Machine (see below). 
• The standalone Jmol application requires Java 1.4 or higher. 
• In all cases, if possible, installing the latest Java version from Sun is recommended. You can have it installed by visiting www.java.com and following instructions therein.
