+/**
+ * Classes for matching character sequences against patterns specified
+ * by regular expressions.
+ *
+ * <p> An instance of the {@link java.util.regex.Pattern} class
+ * represents a regular expression that is specified in string form in
+ * a syntax similar to that used by Perl.
+ *
+ * <p> Instances of the {@link java.util.regex.Matcher} class are used
+ * to match character sequences against a given pattern.  Input is
+ * provided to matchers via the {@link java.lang.CharSequence}
+ * interface in order to support matching against characters from a
+ * wide variety of input sources. </p>
+ *
+ * <p> Unless otherwise noted, passing a <code>null</code> argument to a
+ * method in any class or interface in this package will cause a
+ * {@link java.lang.NullPointerException NullPointerException} to be
+ * thrown.
+ *
+ * <h2>Related Documentation</h2>
+ *
+ * <p> An excellent tutorial and overview of regular expressions is <a
+ * href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex/"><i>Mastering Regular
+ * Expressions</i>, Jeffrey E. F. Friedl, O'Reilly and Associates,
+ * 1997.</a> </p>
