Like with your other patch, alignment to ~80 chars would be good, as that is mostly consistent with other code in the same source file.

Let’s not use the word “find" here, so as not to confuse with matcher(s).find().

5833      * @return  The predicate which can be used for finding if an input string matches this pattern.

I suggest:

@return  The predicate which can be used for matching an input string against this pattern

You could also add a @see Matcher#matches
