\w does not match underscore 

           Summary: \w does not match underscore
           Product: Regexp
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: regexp-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: fmcgrath@rational.com


The \w pattern should match the underscore ("_") character.  It does not - the 
implementation just calls java.lang.Character.isLetterOrDigit().  This method 
returns false for underscore.
