RE: [digester] RegexRules

[David Graham]

I would hate to approve such a thing :-).  Reports I've read indicate that 
the JDK 1.4 regex engine is faster than or equal to the Jakarta versions.  
The authors also thought the JDK regex API was easier to use.  Plus the 1.4 
regex's are *standard* Java.  IMO, people should be migrating to the 1.4 
regex engine, not wrapping custom Jakarta code.

I hate to propose such a thing, but is there a need for a commons-regex
which would perform the same functions as commons-logging?  Where we'd have
JDK 1.4 Regular Expressions, Jakarta-RegEx and Jakarta-ORO.
