MZmine 2 architecture

MZmine 2 is developed using Java technology, therefore it is completely platform independent, requiring only Java runtime for execution. One of the main design goals is to keep strict separation between the application core and modules for data processing and visualization. Development of new modules is very easy and straightforward, without the necessity to study the design of the whole framework. Mass spectrometry researchers are welcome to implement their favorite algorithms and data processing methods using MZmine 2 framework. If you would like to contribute in any way, please contact the developers.

Main used libraries

• NetCDF-Java - NetCDF file import
• dom4j + jaxen - XML traversal
• JFreeChart - TIC, Spectra and 2D visualizers
• VisAD - 3D visualizer
• JavaHelp - Help system
• JChemPaint - 2D molecule visualization
• JMol - 3D molecule visualization

Source code

MZmine 2 source code is available from SVN repository (browse SVN).
