[Biojava-l] external processes

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

Hi all -

I noticed that someone has posted a tutorial to the wiki page 
(http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava:Tutorial:MultiAlignClustalW) showing how 
to launch ClustalW from biojava which is very much appreciated. The 
tutorial makes use of the standard Java Runtime and Process classes. 
Developers may also be interested in the ExecRunner class that is in the 
utils package of biojava1.4.

There is also an entire API for handelling external processes in the CVS 
version of biojava (org.biojava.utils.process) which makes handling of 
external processes much simpler.
