Description

Regular expression quoted with double quotes worked in groovy beta-10:
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\S");
Matcher m1 = p.matcher("A");
if (m1.matches()) {
System.out.println(m1.group(0));
}

Fails is jsr-03:
... unexpected char: '\' @ ...

// Works in GROOVY-JSR
def m2 = "B" =~ /\S/;
if (m2.matches()) {
System.out.println(m2.group(0));
}

// Doesn't work in GROOVY-JSR-03 (unexpected char: "\")
def m3 = "C" =~ "\S";
if (m3.matches()) {
System.out.println(m3.group(0));
}
