However that page seems to indicate that Jakarta Regexp is not preferable to Java 1.4. Given that, the question is whether we believe we'll be improving it dramatically rather than merely bugfix. Of course there might be other reasons why Regexp is preferable. ORO does do better than Java 1.4 and would seem to be the product worth attention if we want to support a 'java.util.regex' isn't good enough angle.
