Marius,
First, generally, use JmolViewer interface. It's in org.jmol.api and it
summarizes the specific Viewer methods that are for public use. There are
examples as well, which you now have found, so that's good.
Generally you do not want to be sending "hundreds or thousands of script
commands" to Jmol, but if you do, consider whether it is important to have
them synchronous or asynchronous. Hard to believe you need them to be
synchronous, but if you do, then you won't be using the Queue thread at all
anyway. Either way, it is much better to start a StringBuilder instance,
append all your commands, separated by semicolon, and then send that
object's toString() result to run one script.
Sounds like you have gone a long way figuring this out on your own. I'm
impressed! Hope this is helpful relative to your deadline. If not, keep
pressing me.
Bob
