BioJava - Components for developing bioinformatics applications in Java

BioJava aims to provide a comprehensive set of Java components for the rapid development of applications in Bioinformatics. It contains interfaces for representing Sequences, Features, and other important bioinformatics concepts. It can also read and write sequence data in a variety of common formats and communicate with Ensembl databases and with DAS and BioCorba servers.

The developers note that there have been some problems with the Classic VM in Java 1.2; Hotspot for Java 1.2 works fine.
