Hi, Sridar,

Why use the FastQC directory -tool-data/shared/jars would make it easy to simply copy the way the current FastQC tool does this - the source for FastQC xml and python wrappers are easy to find in the central repository on bitbucket?

However, to do it properly so it's easy to autoinstall from a tool shed, please take a look at the test fastqc tool http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/fubar/fastqc repository which includes a tool_dependency.xml that autoinstalls the jar and sets up the path for a properly managed dependency - avoiding the ugly solution found in the existing fastqc tool. That's the way of the future for all tool wrappers, so a good thing to start using. Plenty of docs on the wiki and examples in the test toolshed.

Dear Developers,

I am using java jar files for softwares like fastqc, GATK. For running these tools i install the softare and set path in bash_profile file.

My doubt is i placed the jar files in galaxy dist folder (

galaxy/galaxy-dist/tool-data/shared/jars/FastQC/fastqc

)

is this enough to call the jar files from galaxy??

After placing the jar file i tried running the tool using the interface it gives ERROR as

# FastQC cl = /illumina/data/galaxy/galaxy-dist/tool-data/shared/jars/FastQC/fastqc --outdir=/illumina/data/galaxy/galaxy-dist/database/job_working_directory/000/216/dataset_546_files --f=bam /illumina/data/galaxy/galaxy-dist/database/job_working_directory/000/216/dataset_546_files/Bowtie2_on_data_7_and_data_6__aligned_reads

I got same error for GATK also
