My summary of the discussion that I started: 1 Many thanks to everybody, who responds; 2 I didn't know about 'pluggable' ORO possibilty, I'll take a look at this (puting something in commons only to have 'commons' in package name is not a good idea); 3 I agree that totally 'bootstraping' funcionality of regexp (like logging) may be dangerous; I was rather thinking about one API for accessing some 'standard' (POSIX, Perl..) regexps in the same way; Something 'pluggable' and having as simple API as possible - in most cases regexp are used (at least by myself) to verifiy given String against given regexp, that's all.... 4 I know I've seen this before, I know I've seen this before.... Gotcha: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTypes/mapper.html
I think I'll try to implement my idea. And, if it'll look interesing, I'll show to commons community. Regards Tomek Pik [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
