Ok, looking at those matching sample we need to define how matching is
suppose to work. Consider the following sample
Pattern String
**/*/** foo/bar/baz/buz/
What is the result you expect for {1}, {2}, and {3} ? Possible values could
be:
{1}="foo" {2}="bar" {3}="baz/buz"
{1}="foo/bar" {2}="baz" {3}="buz"
{1}="foo/bar/baz" {2}="buz" {3}=""
which one do you think is the correct one?
If it were the regex (.*)/([^/]*)/(.*) then what would the result be? Unless
there's a compelling reason not to, it might as well behave similarly. I
can't test it myself right now, but I think that regex would give the third
option (i.e. as greedy as possible as early as it can be).
Yes, greedy regexp would give the third option. The
WildcardMatcherHelper will give the 1. option as the algorithm used is
not greedy.
However, if in fact that's not the case, shouldn't {3} include the trailing
slash?
Yes, you are right.
