First, java.util.regex is not emulated in GWT, so there's no reason to 
replace Apache Commons with java Regex.

There's however a com.google.gwt.regexp module. You could use something 
like:

RegExp r = RegExp.compile("ID:(.*?):ID", "g");
MatchResult m = r.exec(description);
if (m != null) {
   foundid = m.getGroup(1);
} else {
   // not found
}

(assuming 'description' can contain many things around the ID:...:ID, 
otherwise the String.split() option, or even String.substring, possibly 
combined with String.startsWith and String.endsWith, is the way to go as 
it's less error-prone)
