      oracle.jdeveloper.java.filter.PatternMatchNameFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ClassNameFilter, PackageNameFilter

public class PatternMatchNameFilter
extends SimpleNameFilter

The PatternMatchNameFilter handles name matching for both class and package names. It supports pattern matching for question mark (?) and asterisk (*) characters. Use a question mark to match any single character, or an asterisk to match any number of characters.

For class name matching, it also supports camel-case matching.
