No.

Note that the source code is available

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/tc7.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/startup/CatalinaProperties.java?view=markup#l147

> 2) can I use just "*" instead of "*.jar"?

Try it. I think that the answer is yes, as Tomcat currently uses
pattern matching code borrowed from Ant.

I think the answer is yes, but you would better try it / read the code.

Note that common.loader can include references to other properties,
like it does with ${catalina.base} etc.
