<path> and <pathelement> don't think that ** would be something
special, they'll go out and look for a file with two consecutive * in

I see the snippet, but cannot understand what you want to achieve

See above - you don't have a directory named
/Users/matt/Dev/JavaDocTest/src/** on your machine, do you?
