Having read through Jeffrey Friedl's most excellent book "Mastering Regular

A very nice recommendation, thanks for this.

The regex provider in RDi is (mostly) the Java regex. If Lpex exposed
a hook for the regex provider I would switch to the Perl regex in an
instant! This isn't a slam on the choice made by the RDi team -
Eclipse is made by and for Java programmers. It's (dare I say it?)
rational (hee hee) that RDi uses the Java regex. But I personally
prefer the Perl regex... Preferences, preferences, preferences. :-)
