Hello Dr. González,

The link below related to the BioJavaX libraries is in fact for the 1.x
series of BioJava releases (also known as biojava-legacy).

The 1.x download page is here
http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava:Download_1.9.1

I just cut a version 1.9.2 last Friday and haven't updated the wiki yet, so
if you're using Maven, try e.g.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.biojava</groupId>
      <artifactId>core</artifactId>
      <version>1.9.2</version>
    </dependency>

The other jars are listed here, look for version 1.9.2

http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|g%3A%22org.biojava%22
