Is there still a goal of adding Perl 5.6 regex? Is work being done on it?
With so many projects using ORO, is there a need to move forward on this?
I think the situation we're in is one of insufficient demand for
enhancements. When demand evidences itself, I think we'll see
work on enhancements (provided those with the demand are willing to
do some of the work). But I don't expect that demand to materialize,
especially after java.util.regex has reinvented or borrowed jakarta-oro
concepts to fix API shortcomings in its original incarnation (e.g., the
addition in 1.5 of MatchResult, quote(), the usePattern() kluge,
region(), etc.).
Except not many are on 1.5 yet.
:)
Seriously though, do we expect the projects that depend on ORO
currently to be switching to java.util.regex?
