Hi Ximin,

at first thanks a lot for your effort to upgrade Jmol which is highly
appreciated.

As far as I can see JSmol is not needed for the rdepends we are
maintaining so this is fine for me.
 
I tried to build the current state in Git but I've got:

...
cd Jmol && ant -Dnetscape.jar.path=/usr/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar -Dlib.dir=/usr/share/java -Dcommons-cli.jar=commons-cli.jar -DPrivate.propertyFile=none clean clean-after-dist
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF8

Any clue how to circumvent this?

Kind regards
