Hi,
As some of you may know, I am currently working on a version of
XWiki for
mobile devices.
I have been investigating the possibility of running some parts of
XWiki
on a J2ME - CDC PP configuration.
During this process I have noticed that XWiki uses two different
api for
matching regular expressions:
* Jakarta ORO
* java.util.regex ( JDK > 1.4 )
Because j2me does not have the java.util.regex classes, I have made
some small changes so that the core of XWiki only uses Jakarta ORO,
so I can continue my tests.
Yet, I think these changes (see attached patch) may be of a more
general
interest because:
* it might be cleaner to stick to a single regex lib
* this patch factors some of the regex handling on an
encapsulating class that would allow us to change the regex
underlying implementation more easily.
What do you think?
I really don't think we should use ORO at all, now that Regexp is
included in the JDK (since 1.4). We should really get rid of ORO.
I think it's going to be hard not to use any 1.4 features, especially
as XWiki is based on 1.4 right now. We've already decided to stay 1.4
compatible. I don't think we can decide to stay 1.3 compatible...
As Ludovic was saying, if we plan ahead, all mobiles devices will
have a JDK 1.4 compliance level in not too long...
Note sure how this will help you though Pablo. We need to find a
solution. Has anyone researched if there's a java.util.regexp
implementation for 1.3?
Thanks
-Vincent
