isLiteral in interface PatternMatcher<int[]>pattern - The patternpublic int[] compilePattern(String data)
 Translate the given String into a int []
 representing the pattern matchable by this class. 
 This function
 translates a String into an int array converting the
 special '*' and '\' characters. 
 Here is how the conversion
 algorithm works:
When more than two '*' characters, not separated by another
 character, are found their value is considered as '**' (MATCH_PATH).
 
 The array is always terminated by a special value (MATCH_END).
 
 All MATCH* values are less than zero, while normal characters are
 equal or greater.
