title: Is there an equivalent of java.util.regex for "glob" type patterns?
body: <p>Is there a standard (preferably Apache Commons or similarly non-viral) library for doing "glob" type matches in Java?  When I had to do similar in Perl once, I just changed all the "<code>.</code>" to "<code>\.</code>", the "<code>*</code>" to "<code>.*</code>" and the "<code>?</code>" to "<code>.</code>" and that sort of thing, but I'm wondering if somebody has done the work for me.</p>
