[ jEdit-devel ] EVERY MODE MUST BE TESTED, and syntax package..

[Alan E. <ala...@gm...>]

As you know, in CVS, many of the dependencies on gnu.regexp are being
removed, and java.util.regex is being used instead.

Since there are a lot of regular expressions in mode files, EVERY mode
file must be tested under the java.util.regex.

Notice that some of them will cause jedit to lock up. It would be nice
if jedit would give a more informative error when it encounters
problems, rather than locking up. I think this is a bug in the way the
syntax package processes the mode files.
