[jira] [Created] (DERBY-6868) Remove the dependency on Jakarta ORO

Knut Anders Hatlen created DERBY-6868:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove the dependency on Jakarta ORO
                 Key: DERBY-6868
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6868
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build tools, Test
    Affects Versions: 10.13.0.0
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen


The Derby source code repository contains jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar in the tools/java directory. This jar file provides regex functionality used by the Sed class in the old test harness.

Modern JDK versions include the java.util.regex package, which provides similar functionality. The Jakarta ORO project is retired and has been moved to the Apache Attic.

We should change the implementation of the Sed class to use java.util.regex instead of Jakarta ORO because:
- it reduces the number of binaries in the source code repository
- java.util.regex is a maintained library, ORO is not
