MZmine 3 is an open-source software for mass-spectrometry data processing. The goals of the project is to provide a user-friendly, flexible and easily extendable software with a complete set of modules covering the entire MS data analysis workflow. All algorithms are stored in the Mass Spectrometry Development Kit (MSDK).
More information about the software can be found on the MZmine website.
MZmine requires Java runtime (JRE) version 1.8 or newer.

Since this is a collaborative project, please adhere to the following code formatting conventions:
- All Java sources should be formatted according to the official Java Code Conventions with only one adjustment: use spaces for indentation instead of tabs
- You can use the
mzmine-eclipse-code-formater.xmlfile to automatically format your code in the Eclipse IDE - Please write JavaDoc comments as full sentences, starting with a capital letter and ending with a period. Brevity is preferred (e.g., "Calculates standard deviation" is preferred over "This method calculates and returns a standard deviation of given set of numbers").
