[Biojava-l] Depreciated methods

[Hamed, Ahmed A.]

Thanks Richard!

For the deprecated methods, is there a reference or a wiki that maps the
deprecated ones to ones that should be used instead?

As for the examples I am having trouble with: WriteToFasta is one. Here is
the error that I am getting:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No alphabet was set in the identifier
    at org.biojava.bio.seq.io.SeqIOTools.fileToBiojava(SeqIOTools.java:928)
    at examples.WriteToFasta.main(WriteToFasta.java:43)

And here is my parameter value:
      //get the int constant for the file type
      int fileType = Integer.parseInt("2");

I would appreciate any help.
Best wishes,
Ahmed
