That's not a Java wildcard, it's an Ant wildcard.
Because <pathelement> is an Ant construct and Java wildcard can only be
used from the command line.

Ant doesnt pass all found classfiles to the program - it sets up a
classloader. Therefore
it can handle large numbers of files itself.

So use an Ant wildcard:
  <pathelement path="${srclib}/wnc/**"/>   
(add one star ;)

   '*'   every file in the directory
   '**'  every file somewhere under the directory
