java vs javascript regex

[sunn...@gmail.com]

Hi all, I've read that there are differences between the Java and
Javascript regex patterns, so you'll get different behaviour when it
dev/hosted/prod mode using regex.

I'm trying to do a split which includes the delimiter to process camel
case text. In simpler form (forgetting acronyms and such):
String regex = "(?=[A-Z])";
String[] words = camelCase.split(regex);
// go on to capitalise each word

This works in dev mode - straightforward java regex. But this doesn't
work as expected in prod mode. Then through a little trial and error
here: http://www.pagecolumn.com/tool/regtest.htm (click the "Return"
tab to see the evaluated output)

This piece of javascript did what I wanted.
var myArray = str.split(/(?=[A-Z])/g)

So off I went and plucked "/(?=[A-Z]/g" into my
camelCase.split(regex), but it appears to be just returning the entire
string.

Test browser is FF12.

Be sure that you're using the GWT RegExp wrapper.

Thanks! Using the same regex pattern but with GWT RegExp did the
trick :)
