[Biojava-dev] Exception wrapping in SimpleRichObjectBuilder

[Richard Holland]

Unfortunately, the IllegalArgumentException(String, Throwable)
constructor is a Java 1.5 feature, and is not present in Java 1.4 As
BioJava is currently 1.4-compatible, I can't make this change exactly as
you make it. However, I did make the equivalent change in the 1.4
syntax:

	IllegalArgumentException ie = new IllegalArgumentException(.....);
	ie.initCause(e); 
	throw ie;

This change has been made in CVS.

cheers,
Richard
