RegEx Tester is cool – or shall I say: sexy

Features:

• Test and search for regular expression – with SEXY Live-View that evaluates while you type – good for play-around/experimenting
• Support for pattern flags (e.g. Pattern.DOTALL)
• LiveEval evaluates your regular expression while you are typing it, gives feedback on possible errors and shows any matches automatically
• LiveEval is supported for changes of the regular expression, the search text and the pattern flags
• Generation of string literals based on the regexp, e.g. "/(x/)" becomes "//(x//)"
• Code Generation based on the regex and pattern flags, e.g. "/(x/)" and DOTALL becomes "Pattern.compile("//(x//)",Pattern.DOTALL);"
• Easy movement through matches: Choose "Previous Match" or "Next Match" and cycle through all matches found. Right click on a match, select "Goto Match" and the result text box will show you the results for this particular match.
• Polished and accessible user interface, everything is reachable via keyboard

Make sure to have JDK 1.4.x active for startup of Eclipse – I had 1.3.1 and it claimed to not being able to load some classes…
