[Biojava-l] what is the design goal of biojava?

[mark.schreiber at group.novartis.com]

I would say the design goal (not that there is an official one) is general 
sequence manipulation and analysis. BioJava is probably more for the 
developer than the biologist. Part of the reason is the design and part of 
the reason is that Java is more suited to application development than 
simple scripting  which is better done in Perl, Python or Ruby.

hi,
i am now using biojava, and i think it is quite good, especially the 
modeling and statistics class, but on data manipulation, it seems 
somewhat complex. if she is like bioperl in seqio or searchio, she will 
be more beautiful i think. so i want the design goal of biojava, for 
biologist or programmer?
