Bioclipse is a rich-client platform chemistry and biology workbench. It provides access to many open source bioinformatics and chemoinformatics toolkits and has plugins for the Chemistry Development Kit, JChemPaint, Jmol, and BioJava.
The Bioclipse project is a Java-based, open source, visual platform for chemo- and bioinformatics based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). Bioclipse uses, as any RCP application, a plugin architecture that inherits basic functionality and visual interfaces from Eclipse, such as help system, software updates, preferences, cross-platform deployment etc. Via these plugins, Bioclipse provides functionality for chemo- and bioinformatics, and extension points that easily can be extended by other, possibly proprietary, plugins to provide additional functionality.
