A Java library that support various operations in force fields

JME is designed to help researchers and scientists explore and understand the behavior of molecules at the atomic level. You can analyze the interactions between atoms and molecules and optimize molecular structures.
Do you know that we have an online version for OpenBabel?

OpenBabel allows to convert nearly all the chemical formats and it very practical to quickly move from one program to another.

Give it a try!
