When a wildcard is used in a sourcefile name on the javadoc command line, the
wildcard is expanded properly. However, when the same sourcefile name
containing a wildcard is read from a file named by an '@files' argument, the
expansion fails and the following error is returned:

javadoc: No package, class, or source file found named <name-with-wildcard>.

Documentation for the javadoc '@files' argument says a file can contain "One or
more files that contain packagenames and sourcefiles in any order, one name per
line." And just above this the document defines 'sourcefiles' arguments as
supporting wildcards and 'packagefiles' arguments as not. I believe that this
clearly implies that the same wildcarded sourcefile names that work on the
command line should also work when read from a file.
