Dear CDK-People, I'm trying to duplicate a bit of Rajarshi Guha's code to read compounds from any on-disk format, located here: http://rguha.net/code/java/#fread It all looks very nice and generic, but I run into trouble with this line:
IChemFile content = (IChemFile) reader.read(builder.newChemFile()); This results in the error-message "The method read(IChemFile) is undefined for the type IChemObjectReader". To be more exact, the entire IChemObjectReader interface does not specify _any_ "read" method whatsoever (at least in cdk v1.3.5, v1.2.5 seems to lack one either). Now I can understand that method/interface signatures change over time, Rajarshi even specifically warns some of his code snippets may be outdated, but why on earth would an interface labeled "...ObjectReader" NOT specify a "read" method. This is so counter-intuitive it makes my brain hurt.. Of course the individual subclasses have proper read methods, but with the interface lacking the common method, the entire pattern of the ReaderFactory becomes pointless. Fortunately I know the input will be SDF format in this application, so I'll just use the specific reader. I'd still appreciate it if someone could cast some light on the disappearance of "read" from the interface, though.
