----------------------------------

             Summary: update xalan build to include newer version of regexp
                 Key: XALANJ-2573
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2573
             Project: XalanJ2
          Issue Type: Wish
      Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone (Ordinary problems in Xalan projects.  Anybody can view the issue.)
          Components: Xalan
    Affects Versions: 2.7.1
            Reporter: Sam Broydo
            Assignee: Steven J. Hathaway


Current build of xalan-2.7.1.jar includes seemingly jakarta-regexp version 1.2:
Name: org/apache/regexp/
Comment: Java Regular Expression package 
Specification-Title: Java Regular Expression package 
Specification-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation 
Specification-Version: 1.2
Implementation-Title: org.apache.regexp

This is pretty far from the latest regexp available - 1.5.
Can you update the build to include latest ?
The consequences are that some long time fixed regexp bugs are getting exposed though xalan, like :

Caused By: org.apache.regexp.RESyntaxException: Syntax error: Too many bracketed closures (limit is 10)
        at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.syntaxError(RECompiler.java:253)
        at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.closure(RECompiler.java:1014)
        at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.branch(RECompiler.java:1151)
        at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.expr(RECompiler.java:1203)
