Richard Cyganiak replied pointing the code in Jena which conveniently does this and which bioclipse.rdf is already using anyway. Next, Fred Durao even gave a full code example relieving me from any further research, resulting in sparqlRemote() now implemented in the rdf manager: -
New Blogs #10

While the EBI-team focused on the applet (and Swing application), the Uppsala team, obviously, focused on the SWT side, for integration into Bioclipse. The new JChemPaint is reaching a useful state, and below is a quick update screenshot something Arvid has been working on: -
