[Biojava-dev] [Biojava-l] Newick parser

[Tiago Antão]

As this was all fresh in my head, I wrote a small tutorial:

http://tiago.org/cc/2009/11/17/reading-newicknexus-phylogenetic-trees-with-biojava/

As I don't follow the biojava mailing list regularly (or bug reports),
if some bug arises on this code, feel free to send me an email to my
personal account: If I have some time to spare, I will have a look at
it.
