Java regex vs. Unicode TR#18 vs. ICU
Hello, Someone on the ICU team recently compared the use of \w between ICU, Java, and Unicode TR#18 http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/#Compatibility_Properties . The results are in the following ICU bug http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/10006. A question for core-libs-dev is, does Java plan to change the semantics of \w to match TR#18's list? Thanks, Steven

It appears the standard has just added one more entry \p{Join_Control}
during their last update :-( I may consider to update the spec/impl to match
that, I would assume there is no any jdk7 application really has dependency
on the updated \w (in jdk7).
