MZmine 2 architecture

MZmine 2 is developed using Java technology, therefore it is completely platform independent, requiring only Java runtime for running. One of the main design goals is to keep a strict separation between the application core and modules for data processing and visualization. Development of new modules is very easy and straightforward. 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.

Libraries used by MZmine 2

• NetCDF-Java - NetCDF file import
• JFreeChart - TIC, Spectra and 2D visualizers
• VisAD - 3D visualizer
• JavaHelp - Help system
• Chemistry Development Kit - isotope pattern and molecular weight calculations
• JChemPaint - 2D molecule visualization
• JMol - 3D molecule visualization

Source code

MZmine 2 source code is available from SVN repository.
