jakarta-oro is not dependent on jakarta-regexp.

This should probably be a question for ant-user if you're asking about
ant task attributes.  However, $ does not match a newline and neither
does ^.  Therefore, ^LOOK FOR ME$^AND ME$ should not match anything ever.
You need to account for the newline because $ and ^ are zero-length
positional expressions (i.e., put put \n between the $ and the ^).  Keep
the m flag though, because it won't work with s.
