First of all I don't think you need scanners at all. Scanners are used just
for feeding pipelines and no other module depends on them. So you can
exclude this module without loosing anything important for your project.

I have implemented filtering in scanners using regular expressions few week
ago. Since I haven't used any of third-party regex packages (Jakarta Oro and
Jakarta Regexp) I did implement them using jdk 1.4 java.util.regex package.
So, if you want to use scanners with jdk 1.3 you should try to port methods
that use java.util.regex to some of third-party libraries. Since there are
only two methods I don't think this will be a problem for someone who did
use Jakarta Oro/Regexp

Subject: [Babeldoc-devel] Catching up ...



I am just today integrating my development environment with the same
directory that I synchronize with CVS.  Today I discovered that
com.babeldoc.scanner.ScannerWorker implemented the JDK 1.4 Regex package
about 3 1/2 weeks ago.

Is there any desire to use a 3rd party package for this so that JDK 1.3
compatibility can be restored?  If not, is this a class I could just exclude
from my build?  Or do all Scanners depend on it?  Since it is abstract, it
would seem to be subclassed and I see Javadocs indicating that Directory,
FTP, Mailbox, and SQL Scanners all subclass it.

Any thoughts?
