[Biojava-dev] JDK 1.5

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

Hello -

Biojava is still officially using JDK 1.4.2 I know many people have 
changed to JDK1.5

While no-one is using generics etc in the code base there have been a 
number of method calls that have slipped in that rely on JDK 1.5. The most 
common one is 

Integer.valueOf(int i)

This is only introduced in 1.5 please use the alternative

new Integer(i)

It even has less typing : )
