Abstract
The Java programming language is an architecture-independent, object-oriented language, designed for secure local and network applications. Programs written in Java can either be embedded within hypertext documents on the World Wide Web (so-called applets), or be fully stand-alone, as software written in other programming languages. In this article, we present two sample quantum chemistry applications written in Java. The first is an educational applet, illustrating an LCAO–SCF calculation of the ground state of the helium atom using a double-zeta basis set. The second is a prototype one- and two-electron integral package for Gaussian-type atomic orbitals. The potential for Java applications to play an educational role and for the construction of object-oriented libraries of basic functionality for quantum chemical software is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
