[Biojava-l] Nasty CompoundLocation `issue' -- incompatible change

[Michael Dickson]

I'd like to chime in and say that I'm not crazy about the approach 
either.  Static methods on singletons that behave as factories is one 
thing but in an implementation class I feel that the contstructor (or a 
seperate initializer method in complex cases like this one) are a better 
choice. 

We get alot of cool stuff from BioJava so its not a major issue but I 
did want to weigh in with my opinion.
