<javadoc> is not a "directory based task", it doesn't support filesets
or patternsets.

<path> and <pathelement> don't think that ** would be something
special, they'll go out and look for a file with two consecutive * in
their name.

I see the snippet, but cannot understand what you want to achieve
there - trying to avoid listing the source directories explicitly?

why should it be equivalent? From your description, there is no com
directory inside of ${basedir}/src/, therefore the package
specification com.foo* won't match here.

See above - you don't have a directory named
/Users/matt/Dev/JavaDocTest/src/** on your machine, do you?
