Getting resources matching a glob/wildcard pattern

See original GitHub issue

It would be nice if there were a method like ScanResult#getResourcesMatchingWildcard() for cases where you just want to match something simple like someDir/*.json. Of course, ScanResult#getResourcesMatchingPattern() can do the job, but having to write out something like Pattern.compile("^" + SOME_DIR + "/.+\\.json$") is quite a bit uglier.

A more general solution could be having a ScanResult#getResourcesMatchingPredicate() method and using that in conjunction with FilenameUtils#wildcardMatch() from Apache Commons IO, but I assume this wasn’t already implemented because it wouldn’t be compatible with Java 7.

Am I missing any simple workarounds for this problem? Thanks.
