Yes, that used to be true.
With JMX 1.2 (and the current MX4J CVS) you can use
ObjectName.getInstance("domain:key=value"), that creates the objectname once
and then caches it.
MX4J does the same caching also using the plain constructor, but using the
getInstance() is guaranteed to work with any implementation.
So, IMHO no need to use regexp.
