Remove dependency on Jakarta ORO - use JDK 1.4 Regex
----------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-106
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-106
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Task
Components: general
Reporter: Niall Pemberton
Priority: Minor
Jakarta ORO is only used in one place in Tika - the RegexUtils's extract()
method (which is only called in one place in ParserPostProcessor). JDK 1.4
introduced built in regular expression support and changing the RegexUtils to
use this would remove the need for Jakarta ORO as a dependency.
>From the comments in RegexUtils it apears that this code was copied from
>Nutch's OutlinkExtractor[1] - there seems to have been a similar move in Nutch
>back in March in r516754[2] - however it was reverted the next day in
>r517015[3] - I couldn't really see anything on the Nutch dev list to explain
>this, except possibly this post http://tinyurl.com/2s2y9r
