[Biojava-l] Building from CVS

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

The java code itself should be 1.4.2, some errors have krept in.

The taglets problem is a nasty one. Javadoc changed the way it likes to 
talk to taglets as of java1.5, this may not be backwards compatible, I've 
been playing with it for a while and I cannot make it work with both.

The coders seem to be voting with their feet and a change to 1.5 might be 
unavoidable. I'm happy with 1.5 but I wonder how many others are stuck 
with 1.4.2? Which OS's still need a JDK 1.5? Possibly JDK1.5 could begin 
to be allowed in biojava-live in preparation for biojava1.5?? Anyone 
protest??

I encountered problems building the javadocs from source. The taglets 
would not compile. I'm using Java 1.4.2. Is it necessary to use 1.5 to 
compile biojava-live?

Other than the JavaDoc taglets problem, the only problem with compiling 
bijava-live with 1.4.2 was in UniProtFormat.java where the build coughed 
on
   Integer.valueOf(taxid)  where taxid is an int .  A String is required 
here.
