Adding special checker or fixer description

from Structure Checker version 6.1

The checkers and fixers of ChemAxon's Structure Checker can be personalized according to individual requirements, for example, they can be renamed, have special description texts, or distinctive warning messages. You can even simply rephrase or translate the standard checker or fixer messages into different languages.

The @annotation properties, such as name, help, description, etc., can be personalized in order to amend the selected checker parameters both ChemAxon and individual checker types.

Successful personalization can be achieved by editing two files in your chemaxon home folder:

• mycheckercustomization.properties: It defines the individual settings of the original checker properties.
• externalcheckersfixers.xml: It connects the individual settings to the checkers.

How to...

• Create the mycheckercustomization.properties file, which will contain the customization description. (You can name the properties file as you want. Note: your chemaxon home folder may contain other properties files as well; please, do not overwrite them.)

  The customization should follow the next example:

  
  

  
  Note: UTF-8 character set is accepted; Non-ASCII characters must be unicode escaped.
  In case of substructure checker, the name of the group cannot be added to the general description, because it is a general description for substructure checker.
  List of ChemAxon Checker and Fixer IDs

  List of checker or fixer properties available to customize:

  • name
  • localMenuName
  • description
  • help
  • icon
  • noErrorMessage
  • oneErrorMessage
  • moreErrorMessage

  Example:

  Place the created properties file into your chemaxon home folder.

• Create or edit (if it already exists) the externalcheckersfixers.xml in your chemaxon/home folder in order to bind the created properties file to Structure Checker applications. Insert the following content into the XML file:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  <configuration>
    <bundle base="mycheckercustomization.properties" />
  </configuration>
  

  Use the name of your properties file in the <bundle> tag. In the above example, the "mycheckercustomization.properties" file contains the customization description. If you have already added userdefined checkers and fixers to Structure Checker, externalcheckersfixers.xml will contain them as well. In this case, insert the <bundle> tag before <checker-list> and <fixer-list> tags.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  <configuration>
    <bundle base="mycheckercustomization.properties" />
    <checker-list>
      <checker class="chemaxon.examples.checkerintegration.checkers.DuplicateAtomMapChecker" editor-class="" id="DuplicateAtomMapChecker" jar="https://shared.chemaxon.com/projects/UGM2013/duplicateatommapchecker.jar"/>
    </checker-list>
    <fixer-list>
      <fixer class="chemaxon.examples.checkerintegration.fixers.ExternalRemoveAtomMapFixer" id="ExternalRemoveAtomMapFixer" jar="https://shared.chemaxon.com/projects/UGM2013/duplicateatommapchecker.jar"/>
    </fixer-list>
  </configuration>
