Hi... I've just updated the BioJava codebase to use the JAXP (Java API for XML processing) APIs to parse XML documents, rather than explicitly requiring Xerces. This means that we can use alternative parsers if necessary. This isn't really a particularly big change -- Everything still works with Xerces (I've been testing with version 1.4.0), and we'll go on recommending Xerces as the standard parser for BioJava, and including it on the web site. But it does mean we now play nicely with various other Java XML applications, and that anyone who want to change parser can do so in a reasonably low-stress manner (just add a new .JAR file to your classpath, and it should Just Work). Everything compiles again now, and I've tested as extensively as possible (David: could you test the Ragbag stuff again, since I'm not sure I checked everything there. The GAME and XFF parsers are definitely okay, though). Let me know if this causes any trouble, Thomas. _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
