Hi!

I don't know of any list of biojava applications.  It might
be worth starting one (the Wiki on the BioJava website would
probably be a good place).  Note, however, that a large
proportion of code written with BioJava are either purely
research software, or developed for internal use at biotech
companies.  Either way, a lot of it isn't going to see the
light of day publically.

The demos section on the website is woefully out of date.
If you want to see a more complete (although still rather
limited) set of demos, you'll do better downloading the
BioJava source distribution.  You can get the current stable
release (1.30) from:

    http://www.biojava.org/download/

Or the latest, greatest, development snapshot from:

And feel free to ask any questions on this mailing list.
