[Biojava-dev] TaxonSQL not 1.4 compliant

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

Hello -

Someone has placed a modification of TaxonSQL in CVS that contains methods 
from JDK1.5. You know who you are : )

Could you please use JDK1.4 "equivalents"

Specifically, there are a number of Integer.instanceOf(int i) calls which 
I have fixed in CVS. There are also a couple of uses of the String methods 
matches(String regex) and replace(String regex) which I have not tried to 
fix. These were only introduced in java 1.5.

Can people please try and avoid using methods that only compile with JDK 
1.5 for the time being? They are clearly documented in the javadocs with 
Since: 1.5

Thanks,

- Mark
