Re: Project works in development mode but compiled version fails!!!

Your regex is invalid and the unexpected quantifier is being ignored
in java, but javascript is throwing an exception. The '+' after the
{2,} is a quantifier after a quantifier, it needs some sort of
character class before it. Depending on the goal of your match here
are some valid regex strings:

replaceAll("((<br>\\s*){2,})+", "<br>") matches: <br> <br> \n<br> <br>
doesn't match: <br><br><br> (only multiples of 2)
replaceAll("(<br>\\s*)+", "<br>") matches: <br> <br> \n<br> <br> (any
number of <br>'s separated by white space)
replaceAll("(<br>\\ *)+", "<br>") matches: <br> <br> <br> doesn't
match: <br> <br>\n<br> (only spaces, not all white space)
