No additional software or plug-ins are required for drawing and displaying chemical structures when having a proper Java Runtime Environment installed on your client system or by using a HTML5 capable browser. Either the JDraw (BioVia) or JSME (Javascript Molecular Editor) structure editor can be used at wish to display chemical content as set by your user settings.

A link to the JRE and other usefull tools can be found on this page.

When using JDraw it is possible to either draw a structure or copy/paste a structure from a chemistry package like ISIS/Base, Symyx/Draw or ChemOffice etc. by clicking the right mouse button on top of the structure input box. When using the JSME Molecular Editor one can draw a structure query as well but the copy/paste function will not be available.
