The rules are regular expressions (commonly referred to as "regexps" and
"RE"). Regular expressions are not a "lisp thing", they are a stand alone
"language". Many different languages, programs, platforms, etc. use them.
There are many sources of learning about regular expressions. Some Unix
books have a brief overview of them, as Unix programs often use them. One
recommended thorough source is the O'Reilly book "Regular Expressions".
Emacs info has an overview of regular expressions. Try C-h i, choose Emacs,
search for "regular expressions", and choose the topic "Regexps". Hopefully
that explanation will help you create your rules. Regexps are often
confusing at first, so take your time and read the info many times.
If you have access to a Unix system, you may want to experiment with the
program egrep, and read its man page.

Subject: How to make rules?
Hi,
You set in your example the management of packages which are sorted from
the first two sections names. But generally, where a non-lisp expert
like me can find all rules? Is there a pre-defined one or is there a way
to build it?
I really appreciate your work, it works for me. However, when I begin
to learn your rules-syntax example (that I mechanically copy-paste for
the moment), it seems a maze for me, making my future customization
hard.
***************
So now to automatically insert the line break on changes in the first
two sections of the package/domain you can set `jde-import-group-rules'
like the following:
'(("^javax?\\.") ("^[^.]+[.][^.]+[.]" . 0))
And imports statements will be organized in:
- a first group for standard java packages.
- a group for each package with different first two sections.
- a last group for imports not belonging to the above ones.
See the source code for more details on how to customize
`jde-import-group-rules'.
***********
Thanks for more information
Fenintsoa
