## Class GlobPatternMapper

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

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    FileNameMapper
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    PackageNameMapper, UnPackageNameMapper

      public class GlobPatternMapper
      extends java.lang.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.
