GlobPatternMapper (Apache Ant API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.tools.ant.util, class: GlobPatternMapper

# Class GlobPatternMapper

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.ant.util.GlobPatternMapper

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `FileNameMapper`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `PackageNameMapper, UnPackageNameMapper`

public class GlobPatternMapper extends Object implements FileNameMapper
Implementation of FileNameMapper that does simple wildcard pattern replacements.

This does simple translations like *.foo -> *.bar where the prefix to .foo will be left unchanged. It only handles a single * character, use regular expressions for more complicated situations.

This is one of the more useful Mappers, it is used by javac for example.
