This is an HTML image tag filter using Java regex. It takes a string, finds the img tags, replaces the src attribute with one provided by the filter, then adds a class name to the class attribute.

Some methods to search for a substring within a string:
To know that a substring indeed exists within a string:
boolean found = wholeString.contains(substring);
To find where the substring is contained:
int index = wholeString.indexOf(substring);
If the substring is regex:
boolean match = wholeString.matches(".*" + substri...
Case insensitive match: convert both whole string and substring to lowercase, then compare. Or, use case insensitive flag for regex.
Test code:
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Stri...

While doing some Java reflection code, I noticed the method Class.isSynthetic() , which the JavaDoc says returns " true if and only if this class is a synthetic class as defined by the Java Language Specification". However, there's no definition of "synthetic class" in the JLS ! The only thing that I can find that remotely resembles a definition is in the JVM spec , where it defines the synthetic attribute : "The Synthetic attribute is a fixed-length attribute in the attributes table of ClassFile (§4.1), field_info (§4.5), and method_info (§4.6) structures. A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute." By this definition, a default constructor, which does not appear in the source code, should...

In Java regex, by default, the dot character does not match the newline character ( \n ). It matches a newline character only when the DOTALL flag is set.
Example:

In MULTILINE mode, ^ matches the begging of the string as well as the beginning of a new line; $ matches the end-of-string as well as the newline character.
In normal (non- MULTILINE mode), ^ only matches the begging of the string; $ only matches the end-of-string.
Example:
import java.util.regex.*;
public class ...
