-----------------------------------------
Summary: Remove the dependency on Jakarta ORO
Key: DERBY-6868
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6868
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools, Test
Affects Versions: 10.13.0.0
Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
The Derby source code repository contains jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar in the
tools/java directory. This jar file provides regex functionality used by the
Sed class in the old test harness.
Modern JDK versions include the java.util.regex package, which provides similar
functionality. The Jakarta ORO project is retired and has been moved to the
Apache Attic.
We should change the implementation of the Sed class to use java.util.regex
instead of Jakarta ORO because:
- it reduces the number of binaries in the source code repository
- java.util.regex is a maintained library, ORO is not
