IDMaker (biojava-legacy 1.9.5 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

IDMaker.ByName, IDMaker.ByURN
```
public interface IDMaker
```
Interface for objects that define how to make an ID for a sequence.
Nine times out of ten, you will use one of HashSequenceDB.byURN or HashSequenceDB.byName, but once in a blue-moon, you will want some other systematic way of retrieveing Sequences. This interface is here to allow you to plug in this functionality if you need it.
