Description

I would like to be able to point the DirTailingAdaptor at a directory but only have it tail files matching to a certain pattern.

So I've made a change that allows the adaptor to recieve an optional filter parameter and use the org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.WildcardFileFilter class to filter out files.
This allows you to for example point the adaptor at a tomcat log directory and not have it tail catalina.out logs etc.
