regexp will be there soon.  It's been around for a while as a freely
available gnu package and there's one other called ORA match, but now Sun
has it as well.

So that's not a start.  Come up with something else to help us see your
point.

i'm a long time unix/c/c++/java/jsp developer, but honestly, my
experience with .NET in its short time since beta 2 release has been
very eye-opening. all of the usual features you'd expect from msft in
terms of whizbang gui features are all there of course, in
VS.NET. even more impressive to me is the .NET framework and its
associated class libraries. it's a massive effort with massive
developer/design hours invested. i have yet to find something in
java's sdk class lib that isn't already in .NET. in fact, .NET
arguably already has a better class library, including such basic
features such as built-in Regex support that's missing from
sun. that's just a start.

i'm not tooting msft here at all - just trying to be informative. if
anything, i'm saddened that there's less and less that seems to be
able to defend against the msft monopoly/juggernaut. ;)
