A DESCRIPTION OF THE FIX :
No BUG ID.

FILES affected:
java.util.regex.Pattern
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException

These are patches to stop compiler warnings being emitted from these two. Pattern is still emitting them for a possible case fall through error. These do not appear to be errors so these appear not to be removable.

JUnit TESTCASE :
the compiler I am assuming is the test. These changes were driven by warnings that is was emitting.



FIX FOR BUG NUMBER:
NONE --> these are patches to stop compiler warnings
