Hi all,

at the moment it is not possible to use the same import control configuration for multiple subpackages.

What I need to do is this:

<subpackage pkg="de.main">
   <subpackage pkg="*"> 
      <subpackage pkg="service">
         <allow...> 
      </subpackage>
   </subpackage>
</subpackage>

This way, the package control configuration for the service subpackage would match all modules at once, like de.main.mod1.service as well as de.main.mod2.service and so on. If someone creates a mod3 module, then the configuration would still work.

I couldn't get it to work, as wildcards and regex are only valid on allow or disallow elements right now.

For this, a new attribute might need to be created for the "subpackage" element: "regex"="true/false". That is required to be consistent with the design of the "allow" element.

This will mean that http://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/import_control_1_1.dtd must be changed to version 1.2 as well.

Thanks for any help on this, best regards
Daniel
