rseq: Pattern matching made easier

rseq is a Regular-Expression-like language for operating on sequences (Lists) of any Java objects

Pattern pattern = Pattern.create(oneLetterRegexp.captureAs("ID"),
                                 eq("is"), eq("the").or(eq("a")).optional(), 
                                 anything.captureAs("DEF"));

It is available on maven central:

  <version>0.0.1</version>
</dependency>
