My XML is mal-formated for tag. Specifically, I want every tag that is not ended with to be corrected. How do I match such pattern and using ReplaceAll to do that?
Pattern r = "<img.*?[^/]>" // sth like that?

You forgot a semicolon :)
No seriously, use a (X)HTML parser/cleanup API which can convert tagsoup (HTML) to XHTML. Under each JTidy can do that in a single call:
new Tidy().parseDOM(inputStream, outputStream);
Regex is simply not well suited for this job.

Thanks. But is it necessary to include an external library for this simple operation? I just want something simpler.

Simple operation? Why can't you code it yourself than? ;) It really isn't as simple as you seem to think.

Just add the jar to your classpath :)

Sorry I am developing for mobile apps so I need to minimize the usage of outcoming resources to ensure the performance. I don't see it necessary to add the jar at this moment. I'll see if someone else can come up with a better idea.

Well, then write/reinvent HTML parser/cleanup API yourself so that you don't need to include a JAR :)
