dreg and preg are simple regular expression matches ... so any regular
expression library would do.
fuzznuc, fuzzpro and fuzztran use a wide range of matching algorithm,
depending on the pattern ... although you could use just the brute force
method.
One solution is to write the code yourself.
Another is to use a web services implementation and invoke that from
Java. There are various web services implementations of EMBOSS. At EBI
we use SoapLab. Maybe CBR in Halifax can help you?
