---------------------------------------
What is the status of having this patch reviewed and commited to the next 2.x
release?
> Add ability to specify compilation/matching flags to RegexCapabiltiies
> implementations

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: contrib/*
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1

> The Jakarta Regexp and Java Util Regex packages both support the ability to
> provides flags that alter the matching behavior of a given regular
> expression. While the java.util.regex.Pattern implementation supports
> providing these flags as part of the regular expression string, the Jakarta
> Regexp implementation does not. Therefore, this improvement request is to
> add the capability to provide those modification flags to either
> implementation.
> I've developed a working implementation that makes minor additions to the
> existing code. The default constructor is explicitly defined with no
> arguments, and then a new constructor with an additional "int flags" argument
> is provided. This provides complete backwards compatibility. For each
> RegexCapabilties implementation, the appropriate flags from the regular
> expression package is defined as FLAGS_XXX static fields. These are pass
> through to the underlying implementation. They are re-defined to avoid
> bleeding the actual implementation classes into the caller namespace.
> Proposed changes:
> For the JavaUtilRegexCapabilities.java, the following is the changes made.
> private int flags = 0;
>
> // Define the optional flags from Pattern that can be used.
> // Do this here to keep Pattern contained within this class.
>
> public final int FLAG_CANON_EQ = Pattern.CANON_EQ;
> public final int FLAG_CASE_INSENSATIVE = Pattern.CASE_INSENSATIVE;
> public final int FLAG_COMMENTS = Pattern.COMMENTS;
> public final int FLAG_DOTALL = Pattern.DOTALL;
> public final int FLAG_LITERAL = Pattern.LITERAL;
> public final int FLAG_MULTILINE = Pattern.MULTILINE;
> public final int FLAG_UNICODE_CASE = Pattern.UNICODE_CASE;
> public final int FLAG_UNIX_LINES = Pattern.UNIX_LINES;
>
