Gracias a todos los aquí presentes por sus contribuciones. Escribí una conversión más completa que cualquiera de las respuestas anteriores:
public static final String convertGlobToRegex(String pattern) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(pattern.length());
int inGroup = 0;
int inClass = 0;
int firstIndexInClass = -1;
char[] arr = pattern.toCharArray();
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
char ch = arr[i];
switch (ch) {
case '\\':
if (++i >= arr.length) {
sb.append('\\');
} else {
char next = arr[i];
switch (next) {
case ',':
break;
case 'Q':
case 'E':
sb.append('\\');
default:
sb.append('\\');
}
sb.append(next);
}
break;
case '*':
if (inClass == 0)
sb.append(".*");
else
sb.append('*');
break;
case '?':
if (inClass == 0)
sb.append('.');
else
sb.append('?');
break;
case '[':
inClass++;
firstIndexInClass = i+1;
sb.append('[');
break;
case ']':
inClass--;
sb.append(']');
break;
case '.':
case '(':
case ')':
case '+':
case '|':
case '^':
case '$':
case '@':
case '%':
if (inClass == 0 || (firstIndexInClass == i && ch == '^'))
sb.append('\\');
sb.append(ch);
break;
case '!':
if (firstIndexInClass == i)
sb.append('^');
else
sb.append('!');
break;
case '{':
inGroup++;
sb.append('(');
break;
case '}':
inGroup--;
sb.append(')');
break;
case ',':
if (inGroup > 0)
sb.append('|');
else
sb.append(',');
break;
default:
sb.append(ch);
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
Y las pruebas unitarias para demostrar que funciona:
