[Biojava-l] Problem with blast file parser

[Marcel Huntemann]

Hi Charles!

I've "found" a solution now. After dealing a couple of days with the
terrible xml output of blast and BioJava's BlastXMLParser (which also
wasn't working properly), I decided to have a look at the source code and
try to figure out myself what was wrong with the BlastLikeSAXParser. So I
 checked out the present status of the source code via the anonymous svn
checkout (howto here: http://biojava.org/wiki/CVS_to_SVN_Migration). After
a couple of hours and me not finding an error that could cause this
behavior, I thought I'll just give it a try and compiled the checked out
source via ant. Then used the new created biojava.jar and suddenly
everything went perfectly!
So, whatever the error was (unfortunately I don't have the old source code
to make a diff on certain files), it is already corrected in the
up-to-the-minute version in the subversion system.
Try it out!

Cheers,
Marcel
