org.hamcrest.text.pattern is missing from java

[GoogleCodeExporter]

According to Issue 2, there is a package org.hamcrest.text.pattern which 
provides reg-ex pattern matching.
This package seems to be missing from hamcrest 1.3 with no obvious replacement.

Please restore this package, as regex matching on strings would be handy.

I don't believe that the text matchers have ever been a part of hamcrest-core 
or libraries, but have always been delivered as a separate entity.  The 
underlying project is here: http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest-text-patterns/ 
and there is a jar available for download on the hamcrest downloads page 
code.google.com/p/hamcrest/downloads/detail?name=hamcrest-text-1.1.jar

Hi, not to beat on a dead horse but:

- the JAR file is from 2007 
- it has not been updated to Hamcrest 1.3 ( 
http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest-text-patterns/issues/detail?id=2 )
- it has no official release 
(http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest-text-patterns/issues/detail?id=1
- it is not accessible through Maven/Ivy
- older duplicate of this bug 
http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/issues/detail?id=2

Please put at least a very simple matcher into Hamcrest Core.

Thanks
