Setting the GUI language

TODO this does not work, mention -Duser.language=de and perhaps make language settable in GUI
The file ${HOME}/.jchempaint/properties has two properties with which your local language can be set:

Locale_language = nl
Locale_country = NL

This particular example sets the language to Dutch (nl_NL). The default language is English (en_US).

Finding and Reporting bugs

Though JChemPaint is already very useful, it is not without errors. The development team is too small to make the source code 100% bug-free. So, at some stage you will find bugs (apologies for that in advance). However, the open source community is known for its quick response to both acknowledging, and fixing bugs. The JChemPaint team aims to uphold the same standard - which is sometimes a bit difficult as 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 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.
