[Biojava-l] ability to fetch GenBank files?

[Matthew Pocock]

Hi Mike,

We don't have a CGI client for fetching genbank, embl or swissprot 
files. There have been more than a few requests for that functionality 
recently. There is a BioFetch client (org.biojava.bio.seq.db.biofetch), 
which may do what you need.

I'll take a look at porting Bio::DB::BenBank to BioJava this weekend.
