[Biojava-l] ant problem!

[Thomas Down]

Hi...

I haven't had a chance to test BioJava on Java 1.2 yet today.
But I would, in general, suggest that upgrading to 1.3.1 is
a very good idea -- it's got a lot of performance enhancements
(including the Hotspot VM as standard, on Sun's supported 
platforms), and many known bugs fixed -- some of them actually
pretty serious.

We wish to thank the many Firewall vendors who have supported our
work to re-enable the innovation that made the Internet great,
without giving up the cellophane fig leaf of security that a Firewall
provides.           -- Gaynor & Bradner, RFC3093
