Description

AppendingTransformer should support wildcards in resource elements.

Currently it is necessary to add

<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
    <resource>ValidationMessages.properties</resource>
</transformer>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
    <resource>ValidationMessages_en.properties</resource>
</transformer>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
    <resource>ValidationMessages_de.properties</resource>
</transformer>

and so on to join messages from different dependencies.

In this case it should be sufficient to specify a single AppendingTransformer having

<resource>ValidationMessages*.properties</resource>

but that should not match ValidationMessagesFoo/Bar.properties (maybe <resource>ValidationMessages**.properties</resource> would).

Alternatively a way to specify regular expressions would also work.
