Regex Named Groups in Java

Question

It is my understanding that the java.regex package does not have support for named groups (http://www.regular-expressions.info/named.html) so can anyone point me towards a third-party library that does?

I've looked at jregex but its last release was in 2002 and it didn't work for me (admittedly I only tried briefly) under java5.

Answer 1

Java 7 adds named groups. Matcher.group(String groupName) documentation.
