Wildcard patterns

Equivalent?:  "**/*" and "**/*.*"

Not quite.

The former will match any files. The latter will only match a file with 
a period in the name. Microsoft provides a shortened 8.3 version of all 
long file names but I don't believe there is any way to  get that 
shortened name from Java. So not the same thing on any modern platform I 
know of.
