Granted, the * and ** thing can be usefull, but I never really craved for it. BTW, the PATH environment variable on all OSes never support recursivity. Anyway the * notation should not be required. Just make it so that whenever you specify a path, it will automatically gets all the jars in it. This would make it behave more like the PATH environment variable.
