Redirecting Akka Documentation URLs

When you search for Akka-related things on Google and you want to display a page on Akka Documentation, two problems might arise:

1) You are a Scala developer and the Google result is for Java.
2) You are using version 2.4.2 but the page is for 2.3.13.

or maybe both. You would probably wish a plugin to redirect you to correct page automatically. For example:

http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.13/java/actors.html

to

http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.2/scala/actors.html

You can use this Chrome plugin to set regex URL redirections.

For Akka version 2.4.2 supporting Scala, add the following regex rules on the settings page of the plugin:

From: ^http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/(.*?)/(.*)/(.*)    
To: http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.2/scala/$3

There are similar plugins for Safari but I could see none with regex support.
