Instruction to test webrev

[Xueming Shen]

Hi HongDai,

The easiest way to test the proposed regex change without building the jdk
is to copy all source files from j.u.regex into a local directory, update them
with the latest version from the webrev, change the "package ..." line of
each file to some dummy package name (to avoid "java..."), and compile.
You now have a local copy of the regex to test on.

For example I have a regex.jar at

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/regexBackTrack.Lamnda.CanonEQ/regex.jar

with the latest change I proposed in

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/regexBackTrack.Lamnda.CanonEQ/webrev

You can test with the package name "jdk.java.util.regex" (I just added a prefix
"jdk" to the official package name java.util.regex), for example do

import jdk.java.util.regex.*;

And compile your test code with

javac -cp regex.jar Test.java

and run with

java -cp regex.jar:./ Test

I know Vietnamese relies heavily on combining characters, it would be appreciated
if you can help try out the latest regex changes to see if it works as expected under
CANON_EQ mode.

Thanks
Sherman
