Hello, Someone on the ICU team recently compared the use of "\w" between ICU, Java, and Unicode TR#18 <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/#CompatibilityProperties> . The results are in the following ICU bug <http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/10006>.

A question for core-libs-dev is, does Java plan to change the semantics of \w to match TR#18's list? It appears the "standard" has just added one more entry \p{JoinControl} during their last update :-( I may consider to update the spec/impl to match that, I would assume there is no any jdk7 application really has dependency on the updated \w (in jdk7). -Sherman Thanks, Sherman

Do you want to open a bug to track this? You can reference the above URLs
