[PATCH] Typo in java.util.regex.Pattern

[Pavel Rappo]

I'm holding a copy in my hands right now. I can see "ISBN: 978-0-596-52812-6" written on the back of the book. Searching that number in the database yields the following record:

    Mastering Regular Expressions
    ISBN-13: 9780596528126
    ISBN-10: 0596528124
    Author: Friedl, Jeffrey E. F.
    Edition: Third
    Binding: Paperback
    Publisher: O'Reilly Media
    Published: August 2006

I think it's reasonable to assume that a changeset pushed in November 2006 was referring to a book published no later than that. Certainly, not in August 2009. Which is what the page refers to http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596528126.do Is it a newer print of the same edition? It does looks like it.

I would use the original patch as is.
