[Biojava-dev] Formats and BuilderFactories

[Schreiber, Mark]

Hi -

Would it be a good idea for SequenceFormat objects to have a method to
return their associated SequenceBuilderFactory object?
At the moment if a SequenceFormat object is passed to a method then you
have to go through some kind of switch statement to determine the
correct Factory.

In some cases (eg FastaFormat) the default SequenceBuilderFactory is OK
but in most cases you need the one that is appropriate for your
sequence.
