[Biojava-l] Problems (slight) with the Biojava code in CVS

[Thomas Down]

Hi...

Sorry, I've just gone and demonstrated how awkward moving
directories in CVS can be.  The correct version of the acedb
packages is in src/org/acedb.  All the rest are mistakes,
and you can safely delete them.

For anyone else, don't worry -- I've now removed the offending
directories from CVS.  New copies you check out should follow
the new directory layout, and ought to build fine.

Happy hacking,

   Thomas.
