[Boost-users] Boost regex Java Regex package compatibility

Hello Boost Experts

Here is my situation.

Users write regular expressions which act as input to our programs and
are used to perform matches. Currently the code base is Java and uses
the java.util.regex package to handle regular expressions. I need to
convert this code to C++ and intend to use boost regex.

 How compatible is boost regex with Java regex? I have looked at Java
regex documentation here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html

to note the differences between Java regex and Perl 5 regexs. Are
these the only with boost regex also?
