Finding and Reporting bugs

Though JChemPaint already is very usefull, it is not without errors. The development team is too small to make the source code 100% bugless. So, at some stage you will find bugs (apologies for that on beforehand). However, the open source community is known for quick response in both acknowledging the bug, and fixing the bug. The JChemPaint team provides the same standards which is sometimes a bit difficult because there is so much to do. Nevertheless, we appreciate it very much if bugs got reported; the JChemPaint team does solve many bugs in each next release.

Starting JChemPaint to get debug information

Debugging is a lot easier when debug information is supplied along with the bug report. JChemPaint can be started to get debug information like this:

 java -Dcdk.debugging=true -jar jchempaint.jar

This will create a cdk.log file which can be attached to the bug.
