Since this is a collaborative project, please adhere to the following code formatting conventions:

• All Java sources should be formatted according to the official Java Code Conventions with only one adjustment: use spaces for indentation instead of tabs
• You can use the mzmine-eclipse-code-formater.xml file to automatically format your code in the Eclipse IDE
• Please write JavaDoc comments as full sentences, starting with a capital letter and ending with a period. Brevity is preferred (e.g., "Calculates standard deviation" is preferred over "This method calculates and returns a standard deviation of given set of numbers").
