This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know anything about the status of JSR-51 http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/jsr/jsr_051_ioapis.html I found out about it by accident on [EMAIL PROTECTED] The JSR appears ill-scoped, combining both scalable/fast I/O and regular expression based parsing. I'm left wondering why no one who's written a Java regular expression package (or at least a very widely used one) is on the expert group. I suppose I should just email Mark Reinhold, the specification lead, but I thought someone on the list might know something about it already. daniel
