Description from-classpath 2005-02-23 14:26:24 UTC 
hi,

 I have a regular expression that uses one of the inline switches documented in the Sun javadoc implementation of java.util.regex.Pattern and when running under classpath I get the following error:

At position 1 in regular expression pattern:
quantifier (?*+{}) without preceding token
        (?s)<!--(.)+?-->
Comment 1 from-classpath 2005-02-23 14:28:26 UTC 
(?s) is the DOTALL switch, which makes the wildcard . character match any character including newlines

rather than going through the class API, you can embedd the string (?s) in your pattern and DOTALL mode will be activated
