So, I've been trying to read Sciex wiff file from Java by using SWIG + ProteoWizard's WiffFile.cpp file. I haven't quite got it working, but I'm 99% sure that's because I don't know C/C++ (and more importantly, boost), so I get all these compilation issues. I read in an old paper that ProteoWizard folks were thinking about using SWIG for the ProteoWizard readers, but I'm guessing that that idea must have gotten shelved at some point. Has anyone had success applying SWIG to the Sciex WiffFile.cpp class and to get Java to then be able to read a WIFF file? If not, is anyone interested in working on that? (I'd help, but I just don't seem to have enough Boost/C++ skills to wrestle with the boost/c++/dll compilation issues.)
Thanks in advance, ProteoWizard engineers.
Regards,
Gautam
