[9] RFR: 8159781: jlink --include-locales fails with java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException

[Naoto Sato]

Hi Mandy, thank you for the review.

INCLUDE_LOCALE_FILES is actually a pattern template, and the real filter 
patterns are constructed at the runtime with the passed argument, by 
replacing "%%" with locale patterns. So I think it is less complex to 
handle it as the current way.

I will modify the "regex:" prepending as you suggested.

That means META_FILES and INCLUDE_LOCALE_FILES can be made as List<String>.  You have an option to prepend “regex:” when constructing the patterns to pass to ResourceFilter.  I think that’s a good clean up to do.
