Description Andy Seaborne 2006-02-11 10:46:21 UTC 
GNU classpath from ikvm 0.24.0.1

A regular expression with a zero-width positive lookbehind does not compile:

        Pattern x = Pattern.compile("(?<=X)") ;

It seems that lookbehind isn't supported by the regex implementation.

Similarly, zero-width negative lookbehind "(?<!X)"

This bug is the same as Bug #25812, and it has been fixed.  As far as I know, IKVM uses a precompiled GNU Classpath library. But this fix was done only recently, and it is not reflected in IKVM.
