JDK 1.4 Regular Expression Comparison
Looking for arguments for and against using apache regexp over the
regexp package available in the JRE. Assume we can stipulate a JRE
greater than or equal to 1.4.0.
TIA,
Rod

The regexp parser in 1.4.0 is very buggy. Afaik, most of these bugs
are fixed in 1.4.1,

apache is a battle-hardened veteran. jdk1.4 regexp is a new recruit.
They're both probably fine, but with anything new you run the risk of being
the unlucky one to step on that landmine that nobody's seen.
