NOTUVY regex is a wrapper around the standard Java java.util.regex package. It adds no new functionality, but it makes writing sophisiticated regex logic simpler and cleaner than the standard package.
Project information is available at the (SourceForge) project page. More information is available in the FAQ.
The reason that the standard Java regex framework is sometimes inelegant is because it requires two entities -- Pattern and Matcher. This often means that two local variables are required for each comparison. This escalates the complexity and possibility for error as the number of comparison increases.
Clearly the framework was designed for maximum flexibility. This makes it a general purpose tool with much power. But it results in having to do more work for simple logic.
NOTUVY regex fixes this by using only one entity (PatternMatcher), which can be reused for each comparison.
