What ** means ?

Could you please explain what ** means, example:

maven.multiproject.includes=**/project.xml
maven.multiproject.excludes=**/*-root/**/project.xml,**/target/**

Many thanks,
Nguyen

Re: What ** means ?

Posted by Gonzalo Vásquez Sáez <go...@gmail.com>.
It's a Wildcard use in filename pattern expressions, much more generic than
a simple asterisc.

if you have a file in /var/run/process.pid,

the *.pid would not find it, but **/*.pid would!
