[Bug classpath/26166] Matcher.find mis-behaviour

[kaz at maczuka dot gcd dot org]

------- Comment #4 from kaz at maczuka dot gcd dot org  2006-02-08 04:41 -------
While playing with the gnu.regexp package these days, I wished
the day would not come so soon when the nested character class
expression such as [aaa[xyz]] is needed.

This syntax is not in Perl, but Sun's JDK introduced it.

[X[Y[^Z]]] would not be so difficult.  It is equivalent to X|Y|[^Z].
I think I can manage to do this.

But Sun's JDK introduced another syntax like [X&&[Y[^Z]]] meaning
X and (Y or not Z).  Supporting "&&" will require a serious design change.
