Description Jaroslav Tulach 2002-04-07 21:10:42 UTC

The Pattern.MatchType seems to be very SPI-like,
not useful for user of the API. That is why it
shall be replaced by something more userfriendly.
Either Patterns.match (...) or by TokenId.match
(...) as suggested in my email on nbdev:

Pattern class was replaced by TokenTextMatcher interface and the
Pattern class was removed.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2002-06-19 13:21:05 UTC

When the lexer module will appear on autoupdate alpha?

Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2002-06-19 15:50:40 UTC

The only thing currently missing are the automated tests. I'm working
on that.
