The current method of setting up an include pattern using a single regex is awkward, at best.  It seems to require to you craft a regex that matches both the directory name and the file name(s) of everything you want to include.  This is problematic because I might want to include *.xml in one directory and *.groovy from another.  There is no clear way to specify that I want two separate inclusions:

• foo/*.xml
• bar/*

This gets even more problematic when subdirectories are involved such as: `foo/bar/*.xml`

I consider myself "proficient" in regex, and I have a hard time crafting a functional include list as it is implemented right now.

ant-style patterns would be ideal since it is a battle-proven way to declare a set of file matches using simple semantics.
