[Biojava-dev] Renewed Genbank files parsing support

[Paolo Pavan]

Dear all,
Me and Jacek Grzebyta have added support for reading features, qualifiers
and nested locations with "split" indications in genbank files and we hope
this feature will be included in the next 4.0 release.

Anyway we face the existing of two ways to parse a genbank file: via
GenbankProxySequenceReader and via GenbankReader. Both use the same
underlying GenbankSequenceParser now updated, but in different ways.

Is there a reason that escapes to me of why such a dichotomy design or is
just the result of the efforts of two independent working groups? This
“proxy” naming suggests me it wants to add something more to the standard
GenbankReader, isn’t it? There is an advised one? One difference is that
one is using an InputStream, the second a BufferedReader.

Can someone of the original authors add any note on that?

Thank you very much,
Paolo
