Hi,
I'm not sure if options 2 + 4 work together without changing the API yet
one more time when / if we decide to also support regex (albeit just a
minor increase). I have nothing against supporting them from the beginning
- unfortunately we don't have a clear separation between API and
implementation here and the API has to anyways state what it supports.
This means that a ResourceChangeListener will support the following ways
for defining a matcher:
1. explicit paths, absolute or relative to search paths
2. '.' , for the cases when the listener is interested in all changes under
the search paths
3. limited glob pattern matching ('*', '**'), by prefixing the pattern with
'glob:'
4. regex matching, by prefixing the pattern with 'regex:'
Did I miss something?
Thanks,
Radu
