[Webtest] [info] regex now uses Java's built in regex

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

since build 1245, regex are evaluated with Java's built in regex facilities
[1] (and not with Jakarta ORO's Perl like regex anymore) with the dotall
mode enabled (allows "." to match any character including a line terminator,
this is what Perl names the single line mode).

This allows for instance to use flags what was not possible before due to
(our?) previous regex use.
Example:
<not description="the word 'error' should not appear in the page">
  <verifyText description="search for the word 'error', case insensitiv"
        text="(?i:error)" regex="true" />
</not>

This shouldn't have any consequence on the existing regex.

Marc.
