Hi-

The ORO library is obsolete, but is still in use in JSPWiki.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-794 mentioned it as a
possible candidate for replacement some 11 years ago.

I would be interested in replacing this with java.util.regex (and submit a
PR), but wanted to sound out opinion about that here. It's used in 15
classes in jspwiki-main, which seems manageable (although I haven't checked
if it uses regex features that the JRE doesn't support), but in at least
one case -the IfPlugin- it's used to process use-supplied parameters. So it
wouldn't be a case of just migrating the main codebase, and making sure
that it works, but of users potentially having to change page content.

Has anyone considered this, or maybe even looked into this in the past?

Ulf
