Yea, the BioJava Blast parser has not been maintained in quite a while.
Probably parsing the XML output of Blast is the thing to do nowadays. About
Biojava3: the wiki documentation is a bit behind, the code is now in the
main biojava-trunk and development has been quite active over the last
months.
