Hello,

Finally got around to testing this...

I have built and repackaged a JAR with the following classes:

/usr/lib/flume-ng/lib$ jar tf flume-ng-RegexCaptureInterceptor-1.3.jar
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
META-INF/DEPENDENCIES
META-INF/LICENSE
META-INF/maven/
META-INF/maven/org.apache.flume/
META-INF/maven/org.apache.flume/flume-ng-core/
META-INF/maven/org.apache.flume/flume-ng-core/pom.properties
META-INF/maven/org.apache.flume/flume-ng-core/pom.xml
META-INF/NOTICE

org/apache/flume/interceptor/RegexExtractorInterceptorMillisSerializer.class
org/apache/flume/interceptor/RegexExtractorInterceptorPassThroughSerializer.class
org/apache/flume/interceptor/RegexExtractorInterceptorSerializer.class

However when trying to start an agent with this setup I get the following 
errors:

4:55:16.866 PM  ERROR   org.apache.flume.channel.ChannelProcessor       
Could not instantiate Builder. Exception follows.

Any insight as to what's going wrong is appreciated.

Thank you,

Subject: Re: Possible to use Regex Interceptor in Flume 1.2

Hi,

If you built flume 1.3.0 and took the RegexExtractorInterceptor class files, 
built your own jar with just these class files, and placed that jar in Flumes 
classpath you'd be able to specify the fully qualified class name of the 
RegexExtractorInterceptor.

Too bad we did't make RegexExtractorInterceptor it's own module as it would be 
easier.
