Description

I want to ignore timeouts (to prevent blacklisting) for all classes in my project, so I set the IgnoreTimeout property to end with an asterisk, like so:
org.apache.felix.eventadmin.IgnoreTimeout = com.mycompany.myproject.*

This did not work as I had expected, rather only the following worked (notice that I removed the last dot):
org.apache.felix.eventadmin.IgnoreTimeout = com.mycompany.myproject*

I think it would be nicer if this nuance was documented or, better yet, if trailing .* was also supported.
