This is deja vu all over again, but Miguel explained that removing the XML parser was going to make Jmol.jar smaller. The actual distribution of Jmol.jar V10 is not in fact smaller than all earlier versions. Now, adding gnujaxp.jar will make it about 230K bigger. and it means some people will have a customised version of Jmol.jar into which gnujaxp.jar has been bundled. What is more pernicious is that on OS X, gnujaxp.jar appears to come from the system Java somewhere, so that <<most>> OS X users don't notice if its not declared. But I have just had one OS X user report that his system behaves like Windows, ie gnujaxp.jar appears to be missing from his system somehow? This variability worries me, and makes me feel that gnujaxp.jar should be included on ALL released versions of Jmol.jar. finally, if one is developing a Web page, and during this process, the Jmol.jar is updated on the server, it can be FIENDISHLY difficult to update the cached browser version. Most browsers seem to so persistently cache the .jar archive that it can be very difficult to refresh it and hence persuade the browser to download a new version. does anyone have any good advice on how to reliably clear out cached versions of .jar files? At very least, I find I have to quit the browser and restart it, but each browser seems to have a different way of achieving this.
