--------------------------------

    Resolution: Duplicate Issue

This is already fixed here JBRULES-231 for part of 4.0, we will not backport this to 3.0.x

> JBoss Rules really should have a "not matches" regular expression operator to complement "matches". There's currently no language construct to directly support something like this:
>    rule
>     when
>       Email(from matches "me at .*", to !matches "you at .*)
>     then
>       doSomething();
>    end
> It's possible to do this using a predicate expression, but JBoss just carried an article (rightly) condemning Java in rules! We already have negations of all the other operators (!=/==, </>=, contains/excludes).
