+ <strong>Jalview Project Archives</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>These are java archives of an XML file containing alignments,
+ trees and Jalview display information. A data exchange standard is
+ currently being developed, so there is no stable schema yet, but
+ Jalview web services will soon make use of the same interchange
+ format.</p>
+ <p>
+ For those who want to know...<br> Jalview uses java classes
+ automatically created using <a href="http://www.castor.org">Castor</a>.
+ Jalview 2.08 uses descriptor classes which significantly increase
+ the speed of marshalling / unmarshalling java objects into XML.
+ Files created prior to Jalview 2.08 can still be read in, but they
+ will be saved in the new format.
