apache is a battle-hardened veteran.  jdk1.4 regexp is a new recruit.
They're both probably fine, but with anything new you run the risk of being
the unlucky one to step on that landmine that nobody's seen.

Subject: JDK 1.4 Regular Expression Comparison


Looking for arguments for and against using apache regexp over the
regexp package available in the JRE. Assume we can stipulate a JRE
greater than or equal to 1.4.0.

TIA,
