[configuration] specify a regular expression as string property

[T E Schmitz]

Hello,

I would like to specify a regular expression as a string property.
Example:
first.name.pattern=.{0,30}
or alternatively in an xml configuration file:
<pattern>.{0,30}</pattern>
Unfortunately this expression is interpreted as ArrayList. Is there any 
way to escape it so that it will be interpreted as a String?

Any help is very much appreciated.
