Point taken. I apologize if I offended anyone with my questions/comments, that was not my intent. I am very excited to be using BioJava and think that overall it is well designed. My initial instinct was to speak plainly but I freely admit that this is the first time I have participated in an open source project and I am not familiar with the open source etiquette.
I sincerely hope to begin contributing to the BioJava project in the near future. I want my changes to be as minimal as necessary so that the overall design is maintained, I want any changes I might introduce to be transparent (or as much so as possible) for already existing users, and I want to make sure the changes and the rational for them are well documented.

Rather, you'd probably get a much warmer reception by providing patches to the source files in question and junit test case(s) that exercise your modifications. michael On Thu, 3 Oct 2002, Doug Rusch wrote: > Actually I have made changes that fix both the no summary and "No hits > found" problems though I have not done extensive testing and I do not > know if this would work for wu-blast yet.
