MSfragger GUI (now FragPipe)

FragPipe (previously - MSfragger GUI)

This is a very basic Java GUI wrapper for MSFragger - ultrafast proteomic search engine.
It will help you launch MSFragger for Open and Closed searches and can also run post-processing of results with Peptide/Protein Prophets as well as generate tabular summary results using Philosopher.

To build

Open the source project in NetBeans and do "Clean Build". You will get the jar in ./dist directory and a zip file with the current version in the file name and start scripts bundled.

Updating build version

The version of the build is stored in 2 separate places:

• MSFragger-GUI/src/umich/msfragger/Version.java
  • VERSION static field
• MSFragger-GUI/src/umich/msfragger/gui/Bundle.properties
  • msfragger.gui.version property Both need to be modified to the same value, otherwise you'll get a popup warning at the start of the application.
