Case-insensitive REGEX

NetBeans uses org.apache.regexp.

You can use the MATCH_CASEINDEPENDENT flag:

new org.apache.regexp.RE("pattern", MATCH_CASEINDEPENDENT);

When using java.util.regex, there is Pattern.compile("pattern",

CASE_INSENSITIVE);

Oh I see. Thanks Jesse for clarifying this.

As to java.util.regex, I don't know whether "{?i}<your regex>" can be used as

Phil suggested. I didn't found anything like this at

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html

All we can do with this is either preprocess "{?i}" before passing it to RE or

use java.util.regex when the IDE is running on JDK 1.4.x.

Please submit the feature request to Issuezilla so that it will not be

forgotten, because the jarpackager module is currently not maintained.
