[Biojava-l] Query

[Ola Spjuth]

Hi,

Look into the Bioclipse project (http://www.bioclipse.net). It is a  
graphical workbench that has integrated other tools such as ClustalW  
and Blast. Duplicating such an integration for HMMER seems like a  
straightforward task. Somewhat limited CLI is even done at runtime in  
the Bioclipse preferences, but it could very well be extended.

Cheers,
