Using "*" as value for inputPattern results in exception

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The docu states 'So, if your shell tool will only have one input controller, 
you can change [inputPattern] [...] to "*".'

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. change the value of inputPattern of in the example cli.config to "*"
2. start clamshell-cli with java -jar cli.jar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Thank you for reporting this.  I was able to reproduce the problem.  It was not 
a code issue but a documentation issue.  The regular expression in the 
documentation should have read '.*' instead of just '*'.  I fixed the 
documentation.
