> This test:
> "replace me".replaceAll("me", "\\");
> produces different  results when runned on Harmony or RI
> RI fails with a message:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 1
>         at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:558)
>         at java.util.regex.Matcher.appendReplacement(Matcher.java:696)
>         at java.util.regex.Matcher.replaceAll(Matcher.java:806)
>         at java.lang.String.replaceAll(String.java:2000)
>         at Test.main(Test.java:13)
> while Harmony allows such replacement.
> I think this is Harmony bug.
