[Biojava-l] What could be improved in biojava GUI code?

[Christopher Mason]

I was hoping I could generate a bit of discussion about what, if any, 
improvements could be made to the GUI bits of biojava.  In particular, are 
there any features which you might find useful, or any technical or 
architectural problems you face when using that code?  What are you using 
it for?  What would you use it for, but can't because it's too difficult, 
too confusing, not supported, etc?

Although trained as one, I don't work daily as a biologist, so it's often 
hard for me to envision how people use biological software.  I have some 
ideas that I'll present next week, but before then I wanted to hear what 
others thought.  Now, I'm not implying there's anything wrong with the 
biojava code; I'm just interested in helping make it better.  I'm hoping to 
generate a kind of wish-list that I can help implement.  I notice that on 
the wiki there is a wish-list for biojava 2, but there's no mention of GUI 
code.

Thanks,
