Due to potential performance issues, it would be more simple to use

.@.\..+

or when escaped for a Java String literal:

.@.
..+

instead of the the complex Regex Pattern of

Pattern.compile("[
w!#$%&'*+/=?^_`

{|}~-](?:\\.[
w!#$%&'*/=?^_`{|}

~-])@(?:\\w(?:\\w-\\w)?
.)\\w(?:\\w-*\\w)?");

when compiling patches/hotfixes.
