There is a coding problem in ThinRichSequence (from which SimpleRichSequence and others extend) that allow only Set<Feature> as input, but require the Feature objects to actually be RichFeature objects. This was for a number of reasons that probably seemed good at the time but I have now forgotten what they were. The workaround is to declare your set as a Set<Feature> but populate it with RichFeature objects (as RichFeature extends Feature and so the Set will still accept them).
The code is being phased out in favour of the new BJ3 model so it is unlikely to be fixed, but hopefully this workaround solves your particular case. cheers, Richard On 30 Jun 2011, at 10:02, Hedwig Kurka wrote: > I already built the set<RichFeature> and populated it. > Now I want to give it the RichSequence.
