I pulled down biojava to take a look and as I'm starting to get my feet wet I'm doing some simple clean up (trivial things that I see as I wander through the code a bit or that my IDE points out). I thought I'd do some stuff like this and then move on to taking a stab at some bugs. What is the best way to get contributions back to you? I've attached a patch that is making changes around the following:</div><div><br></div><div><ul class="MailOutline"><li>Majority of the changes are places where my IDE noted calls to StringBuffer.append(string+string) and replacing them with StringBuffer.append(string).append(string). Trivial change with minor performance benefits. </li><li>Replacing a few StringBuffer's with StringBuilders</li><li>Removed a few unnecessary boxing or initializations</li></ul><div><br></div></div><div>All the tests run (ran the biojava test goal), though I didn't look into the tests for the specific classes to see if there was good coverage for these classes. That's another place I might go to get started - see if there's places that need some more coverage. </div><div><br></div><div>Speaking of coverage, on CruiseControl I see some tests run but the tests results tab don't show anything. I haven't used CruiseControl in years (and never with Maven) so I might be looking in the wrong place, but does it list nicely for you the test results (and possibly show coverage) like Jenkins does?</div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
