This looks overly baroque to me.  You don't need to escape \ single 
quotes ' in a Java string, and I don't think you need to in a regex 
either (although I didn't check that).  I'm also not seeing the need for 
the parenthesis around the character classes [] (but again, without 
having tried it, I could be wrong).  And the dot . inside the 
parenthesis just looks wrong.

Great post overall though.
