This is because Java considers \s as escape character inside string
literal. You should write \\s (double slash represents one slash)
> I tried another one
> RE re1 = new RE("<!abc [^[:space:]]*",RE.MATCH_CASEINDEPENDENT );

I think this is because of [^[:class:]] you can use (^[:class:])*
instead.
And by the way I think that jakarta-regexp doesn't support "<!"
construction.
With best regards, Oleg.
