--------------------------------------
Issue & fix info: Patch Available
> 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
> Attachments: d6868.diff

>
> 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
