Hi Tobias,

I don't see any problem with having an open configuration of MassBank servers.
It would be helpful if you could make the necessary changes in the source code 
and send us a patch.
If you can't do that, please send at least a list of common MassBank servers 
with some description.

Dear MzMine developers,
My name is Tobias from Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, 
Germany. We are
hosting the NORMAN MassBank server (http://massbank.normandata.eu/MassBank). 
This service was
started in 2011 to facilitate the environmental chemists community to share 
their mass spectra of
environmentally relevant compounds. In future, we will part of the MassBank 
consortium.

I would like to ask to change MzMine regarding the connection to MassBank. In 
our opinion a
customizable connection to the MassBank server of own choice would be a great 
feature. So far I got
it from the source code, massbank.jp<http://massbank.jp> is hardly linked.

The reasons for this request are:

1. Some people running their own private MassBank servers (for example people 
from Eawag,
Switzerland, and our Department)

2. More people from NORMAN MassBank consortium will do in future.

3. Some people may like to connect to another special MassBank server.

I suggest to define the server URLs in the configuration file. This list could 
be provided as a drop
down list in MzMine for selection of the MassBank server of choice.

Best wishes,
Tobias
