+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.

+ For those who want to know...
Jalview uses java classes
+ automatically created using Castor.
+ 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.
