Oh, sorry not sure about that. I usually use the **/* version and it works as I thought it should. Let´s have a look at the sources of patternset [1] ... okay - PatternSet.NameEntry just holds the name value. Evaluation is done in the DirectoryScanner [2]. There it´s written that name/ is name/** (private static String normalizePattern(String)).
Mmh - "protected boolean isIncluded(String name)" does a simple comparison of the current filename with all registered patterns. So it should be a different meaning between **/* and ** .
