Description

The includes and excludes of the bannedDependencies rule support wildcards, but only for an entire section.

They should be enhanced to support regular expressions.

For instance instead of having
<includes>
<include>my.company:abc-api</include>
<include>my.company:def-api</include>
<include>my.company:ghi-api</include>
<include>my.company:jkl-api</include>
</includes>

one would specify

<includes>
<include>my.company:.*-api</include>
</includes>

To be compatible, the wildcard '' would be treated as regular expression '.'

Sorry, I wasn't aware of the syntax in JIRA.

The last sentence should read

To be compatible, the wildcard * would be treated as regular expression .*

I have the exact same need. I've had to develop a custom enforcer rule that extends BannedDependencies, see https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/blob/73c8404f08ba36136d08c48bbacc9b88f04a07e6/xwiki-commons-tools/xwiki-commons-tool-enforcer-dependencies/src/main/java/org/xwiki/tool/enforcer/XWikiBannedDependencies.java

Thanks!
