No, it's working as designed.  The idea is that if you 
want to pass, say, the -fast option to javac (useful with
Compaq java for alphas) you do:

  java build.Builder -C-fast all

Note no space in the switch.  It's kind of like the -J option
on some of the JDK tools.

To be honest, the old build tool is due for requirement -- I now
recommend the ant tool (from http://jakarata.apache.org/) as the
nicest way to build the project.  There's an ant build.xml file
supplied.  The only thing ant doesn't get quite right yet is the
javadoc documentation, but once that's fixed the old builder will
be removed.

Hope you find BioJava useful,

   Thomas.
