method getProgressiveAlignment in biojava

I have problems with using method I biojava in class alignments: getProgressiveAlignment(GuideTree<S,C> tree, Alignments.ProfileProfileAlignerType type, GapPenalty gapPenalty, SubstitutionMatrix<C> subMatrix). I don't know what is Alignments.ProfileProfileAlignerType type and how to use it.

This is an enum to specify the algorithm used for the alignment. Using global and local alignment depends on the expected structure of alignment: large divergent sequences spanned by short highly similar regions, etc. You should start with some general reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_alignment
