[news.eclipse.modeling.m2t] Check/Xtend: Regular Expression syntax

[Hauke Fuhrmann <haf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Xtend folks,

could you point me to some reference on the Syntax for regular 
expressions for Strings in Xtend and Check?

I want to use e.g.

name.matches("MyRegex");

Where MyRegex is a regular expression. I tried to follow the Java Syntax 
(http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html ) like

name.matches("\w*");

to make sure that something only consists of word characters. 
Unfortunately the syntax seems to be different.

Google didn't show me the way and the old oAW document also not 
(http://www.openarchitectureware.org/pub/documentation/4.3.1/html/contents/core_reference.html#r10_expressions_language 
)

Cheers,
Hauke
