Hi David. Great to hear your keen to get going on galaxy integration - I'm hoping we'll have a v2.9 release ready to go in the next 4 weeks, but I wouldn't expect Galaxy connectivity to be fully ready by then.. since I'm sure it will take some serious field testing!
As to approach. The REST interface would be my preferred route, but Blend4j (https://github.com/jmchilton/blend4j) looks like it could also fit the bill. Does it use the same API ? The way to start is to list the functionality needed and see which one offers them all. There's also some overlap here with the GenomeSpace project, too (i.e. providing save/load functionality to a Galaxy server as a virtual file system and supporting the Galaxy data/file type model for file I/O). Re snpEff: I'm not 100% about direct integrating snpEff's GUI - I'd like to get some recommendations from others about how useful it would be. There certainly is a need to implement a mechanism for visualising outputs of variant analysis pipelines in a Jalview-like way, but it needs a bit of experimentation. It sounds perfect as a third-party module for OSGi - and yet another reason why we need to get the Jalview 3 alpha together! Jim.
