Description
**[dzikoysk](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=dzikoysk)** opened **[MSHADE-358](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-358?redirect=false)** and commented
At this moment, [AppendingTransformer](https://github.com/apache/maven-shade-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugins/shade/resource/AppendingTransformer.java) supports only specific files that we list in the configuration. It causes problems if we don't know names of files that we want to merge (a lot of e.g. annotation scanning libraries uses class names without any extensions). To solve this problem the transformer could just simply accept directories as resource or wildcards in resource names.
```java
META-INF/annotations/*
```

Research direction
Start with src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugins/shade/resource/AppendingTransformer.java and inspect how configured resource names are matched. Use the META-INF/annotations/* example as the acceptance case; done means directory or wildcard resources can be merged without listing each specific file.
