Summary: Regular Expression Searches

Initial Comment:
It would be nice to be able to use regular expressions in the find-replace dialog.

Story: User realizes while searching that she doesn't remember the exact string she's looking for.  She checks the "Use Regular Expressions" checkbox next to the "Find" field, enters an expression, hits Enter to begin the search, and then continues editing.

Implementation notes:  We could use the jakarta RE package, which is also GPL code.  The state of this checkbox should be maintained as an invisible config option, i.e. there's no need to edit it in Preferences, but its state should persist after closing DrJava.
