[Biojava-dev] next steps

[Andreas Prlic]

Hi,

While talking about design requirements, I think we also need to think
pragmatically about how much time we will have to refactor code vs.
re-writing modules from scratch. To get started with the next steps, I
 suggest the following procedure: First thing will be to move to
Maven. Then components should be refactored into independent
sub-modules. Then the submodules can get improved to follow the new
design guidelines. Once we have reached a certain stability with the
re-organized code base, we will make the next release.

Any comments? If there is general agreement about this, I would take
the next step and replace the ant build system with a maven based one.
