public class NameMatch
extends java.lang.Object
Matches a String value against a predefined specification.
Matching can be done in three modes depending on ctor matchSpec argument.
If matchSpec is null, match will succeed for any value (including empty
String and null)
If matchSpec starts with ~ character it will be treated as
java.util.regex.Pattern, with the ~ character omited. The pattern will be
matched against whole value (ie Matcher.match(), not Matcher.find())
If matchSpec is a non-null String with any other initial charcter, exact
matching using String.equals(String) will be performed.
