Two points regarding this.

1. The url redirects automatically to the sourceforge url. Reviewers  
might not like this.
2. The title doesn't appear anywhere on the page. It might be better  
to replace the simple title by what you propose (with a colon  
replacing the hyphen). There is another reason for doing this -  
Google pays attention to the contents of the 'title' field. A phrase  
may look less elegant than simple Jmol, but it is more likely to lead  
people to the site. I changed the title on several web sites I  
support when I discovered this.

One might quibble with the wording. I'd prefer:

"Jmol: An open-source Java viewer for three-dimensional molecular  
structures"

That way the 'chemical' doesn't discourage the protein people.
