Thank you Richard and Mark for your answers. So my next move is to install Hibernate and move to BJ1.5.

As far as I know, BJ2 never got further than a framework of ideas with one or two proof-of-concept interface implementations. It is not currently under active development that I am aware of. BJ1.5 still uses Java 1.4 language features, as you correctly identify. We have discussed moving to Java 1.5 for the BJ1.6 release and will make a decision/announcement when the time comes. One of the reasons for the delayed conversion is that up until recently many users' systems do not have Java 1.5 environments available (older Macs, Compaq/DEC Alphas, etc.). cheers, Richard Eric Gibert wrote: > Dear all, > > > > I am using BioJava 1.4 and I think to upgrade to 1.5.
