iGEM day 3 (6/3): Today was the Clotho boot camp. Trying to build an application on the fly revealed how much I still had to learn about the infrastructure. Most of what I'm missing relates to the Clotho connection and how an object is persisted. I learned about the existence of a transient collection.

I also spent the better part of the boot camp tracking down an error that caused the Sequence View to crash. Turns out it was just an xml error. Xml errors and build file errors combined make up the vast majority of errors that I've encountered while building Clotho.

With the Sequence View stabilized in Clotho Biofab Edition, I can begin looking for quick conversions to a TopComponent. I think I should be able to grab the Content Pane of the JFrame and then use that to populate the TopComponent. Once I confirm this works, then I can begin completing the Sequence View. There is a lot remaining to be done and learned.
