biojavax is using hibernate to o/r map the biosql database to biojavax 
objects. biojavax is planning support in the biojavax objects for fields 
not directly supported in the biosql database (e.g. isCircular, 
isTaxonHidden). in order to conform to the current biosql database, the 
default mapping file from biosql to biojavax will comment out the 
unsupported fields (so the object fields will not be initialized) and 
the objects will default an appropriate conforming value (e.g. false for 
isCircular and isTaxonHidden). for users wishing to localize biojavax: 
the user would uncomment the mapping file and alter the database tables. 
altering the database would require running ddl on the existing database 
to create the new table columns. what is the best way to review and then 
distribute the alter/create ddl for users to localize their database?
