Java Plugins

The API examples contain source code for several IJC plugins. In order to compile these plugins and install them to Instant JChem you should follow [ IJC Plugin Quick Start |IJCtest_docs_developer_api_examples_ijc-plugin-quick-start_index] tutorial. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing and setting up tools required for IJC plugin development and will show you how to download, compile and run the IJC example plugins.

If you don't want to follow the IJC Plugin Quick Start tutorial you can download the source code of IJC example plugins directly from here . The ZIP file contains NetBeans IDE projects for all IJC example plugins as well as any other utility or library modules required in the examples. The starting point is the

api-examples-suite

project, which is a modules suite with all the example plugins. Building and running the suite will build and run all the examples included in the suite.
