Thx, for your hints. I guess will review our decision. We currently use
regular expressions not very much right now, but I guess this will change
in future. I'm currently doing the first steps using them, and I can't 
image a life without regexp in dealing with strings. In context of 
XML Schematas like XML Schema or Relax NG, the use of regular expressions
will increase, too. Ok! I think we have a look at toolkits you suggest,
be we will keep our I one this project ;-).
If my knowlege about building a regex-machine growth, I consider to join
your development team. 

about assert: Yes I have to change some old JUnit code know, too. It wasn't 
a good dicision to keep that word unreserved in ealier Java Versions.... :-/

bye & thx

toby
