The GUI code shipping with 1.10 was marked as highly experimental.
Since then there have been a lot of changes, and the code has
become much more useful.  Hopefully this means that there won't
need to be any more incompatible change.

As for printing text to standard out, yes, that's something we
should try to avoid.  But it's a very useful debugging technique ;).
I'll make sure a big search gets done before BioJava 1.2 (which
should be out in the not-too-distant future), and we can get rid
of all the old debugging code.
