I wanted a better more accurate email validator in java and started to write my own for fun. One interesting bit was the paragraph about comments (text surrounded by parenthesis) within an email being insignificant and ignored for formulating the target. As an experiment i tried to email myself using gmail and added a comment to my email -but gmail complained and said the address was invalid.

Yes, there might be some value in demonstrating the limitations of a regex in fully implementing the RFCs. I'll try to find the most comprehensive one and add it to the list of validators.

Regarding Email address validation, a commonly cited reference for validation using regular expressions is the following:
http://www.regular-expressions...

While many of the regex's there are intentionally not validating to the actual spec, the page does present one regular expression for validating to RFC specifications (though it mentions the obsoleted RFC2822). It might be useful to include this regex in your list (maybe it'll incent the maintainer of that URL to update if there are any failures found in your test suite!).

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])
