[Biojava-dev] Blast info

Hi Keith,

Blast has historically been a weak point of BioJava, since we did not
have anybody volunteering to work on Blast support. As such our
recommendation is to use the XML output of Blast and then parsing
should be straightforward.

We are using SVN for development. However our public and anonymous SVN
server has been very unreliable last few months and we recommending
getting a checkout via git (there is also a SVN interface to git...).
Alternatively you can get nightly build jars from
http://biojava.org/download/maven/

The download options are described at
http://biojava.org/wiki/CVS_to_SVN_Migration
