Hi,

I am trying to integrate a tool that is written in java into galaxy. The following is what I've done.

1) Created a directory inside /tools directory and put my xml and runnable jar file in it. 2) Linked the xml file in 'tool_conf.xml'.

*tool_conf.xml*

<section name="sample tool" id="sample_tool"> <tool file="Sample/sample.xml"/> </section>

*sample.xml*

<tool id="sample" name="Compute correlation"> <command>java -jar sample.jar</command> </tool>

*sample.java* (exported into a runnable jar file from eclipse)

package Sample; public class Sample { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello world this is important"); } }

When I run the above, (i.e when I click on execute in the middle pane), nothing gets added to my current history. Since there is no visual output of any sort, I am not able to figure out where the problem lies.

Any help or pointer is appreciated! Thanks y'all! VJ.

You'll need to (a) add an output file to your tool configuration ( see http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/ToolConfigSyntax#A.3Coutputs.3E_ta... ) and (b) write your output to the file. See other tool wrappers (e.g. /tools/filters/cutWrapper.xml) for an example. Good luck, J. On Jun 14, 2013, at 1:07 PM, vijayalakshmi wrote:
