public final class RegularExpressionArgumentValueValidator
extends ArgumentValueValidator

This class provides an implementation of an argument value validator that is expected to be used with a string argument and ensures that all values for the argument are valid regular expressions. Note that it does not verify that values match a given regular expression, but that can already be accomplished with the StringArgument.setValueRegex(java.util.regex.Pattern, java.lang.String) method.
