Re: [platform-ant-dev] fragment for regexp matching console

["Darin Wright" <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxx>]

Just a note - we'd like to have regular _expression_ matching support. However, we do not yet have approval to include apache's support in the SDK yet (from the PMC). The "StringMatcher" does not support regular _expression_ matching - just pattern matching :-( Thus, our less than optimal implementation.

I haven't looked at your code yet, but I just want to mention that you should 
look at the copy of the StringMatcher in the external tools plug-in for doing 
your regexp matching.
