Support for external process of bbcode

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi, I worked on a simple extension mechanism for JForum. I need to add new bbcode but the transformation is not as simple as a regexp replacement, my transformation need to fetch data from web, process it, etc.

So the idea is to match bb code to a "process" class.

Based on the 2.1.8 code, I wrote BBExt.... classes in the same way BBCode is managed. (Handler, Item, etc).
I add an interface which external process class can implements :

package net.jforum.api.extbb;

public interface BBExtention {
	public String processText(String strRegexp, String strText);
}

And a XML declaration file (name bbext_config.xml in config directory)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bbConfig>
	<match name="item" class="test.Item">
		<regex>(?s)\[item\](.*?)\[/item\]</regex>		
	</match>
</bbConfig>

All work fine now... So just, I won't want to have to repatch JForum at each release, I would like to know if my code can be integrated to JForum, and if yes, what's the procedure ? ( using a diff command, zipping my source workcopy, other ?)

Regards ;)

hehe. That's *exactly* what I'm doing on JForum3. Take a look:

And the test cases:
