The use of pattern helps significantly the validation of file entries. However, json format is quite limited in what is supported when it comes to regexes https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/regular_expressions and does not support notations such as \w or \W. Therefore, could the shortcut notations be replaced by their extended definitions: e.g. \w changed to [^A-Za-z0-9_] so that any json schema tools can be used effectively?
Moreover, special characters such as . or + should be escaped if the characters themselves should be considered and not the corresponding regex semantic.
The following regex "^[^.+]*(\\.[\\w-]{1,32}|\\+[\\w-]{1,32}|\\.[\\w-]{1,32}\\+[\\w-]{1,32})$" should hence be replaced by "^([^\\.\\+]+|[^\\.\\+]*\\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,32}(\\+[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,32})|[^\\.\\+]*\\+[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,32}(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,32})?)$" to abide by the json schema specification.

Describe the bug In schema 2.4 of cbuild-idx, a regex specifying build context names was introduced https://github.com/Open-CMSIS-Pack/devtools/blob/17b2ab16730cd6c5305d8714b1976b6185e9dab4/tools/projmgr/schemas/common.schema.json#L16 Similar
patterndefinitions using regexes were also added to other fields.The use of
