non-public UCDParser.defaultParser

[mbtaylor]

@gmantele, is there a good reason that the UCDParser.defaultParser instance is declared with scope protected? It makes it complicated to work with custom UCDParser instances, e.g. to get a copy of the default word list (though not impossible, you can get access to the member by subclassing UCDParser). If there's not a good reason, could it be promoted to public?

You're right. I assume that at that time I considered it as useless for users that would generally like to create their own parser (and then use the protected static attribute) or use the default parser through UCDParser.parseUCD(String). Besides, when protected, there are much less risk that someone alter the "official" list of IVOA words and so get a strange result when parsing a UCD. But the risk is quite low and people doing are generally pretty aware of that risk.

So, I just changed the visibility of this default parser. It is now public.

Currently, this is only available in the branch ucidy-1.2. I created a Pre-Release where you can get the (runnable) JAR for this branch: https://github.com/gmantele/ucidy/releases/tag/ucidy-1.2 . This pre-release also includes the new list of UCD1+ (UCDlist-1.4).
