Description

The custom merge handlers executed during aggregation can be configured using handlerConfiguration tags in the slingfeature-maven-plugin configuration.
They can be configured on a per-plugin basis (plugin-name needs to be specified) or with a wildcard.
Currently the way to specify configuration that needs to be passed to all plugins is by specifying * as the name, in the case of the maven plugin, the name is specify as an XML tag.
However

<*>

is not a valid XML tag and the pom will not parse with such a tag, so using * as the wildcard is an unfortunate choice.

We need to fix this so that wildcards can be specified in the pom.xml
