>From what I understand, the BioJava project doesn't really provide persistence for biological objects, which is something that I would want in a model/platform. My idea is to use something like Hibernate or JDO to actually persist the data. Also, the last "recent update" for BioJava was from May 2004. I would think that a platform should allow you to store your objects into a persistent storage mechanism (RDBMS). Once you have a persistable model in place, then you write utilities which can operate on it. Granted, I haven't used BioJava that much. I'm just going by what I see from the JavaDocs and I could be very wrong.

Have you looked at the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (http://www.open-bio.org/)? They are not ASF, but they have a working, actively used and evolving codebase that already forms a de-facto standard platform for open source bioinformatics.
