+Bundle URIs should use 'mvn:' scheme, may use '*' glob (not RegExp) for all components except versions and
+version ranges may be specified as maven versions, e.g., "mvn:group/artifact/[3,5)/classifier". At least
+groupId and artifactId should be specified. In most abstract case, "mvn:*/*" describes all maven URIs.
+
+This element may be used instead of "etc/blacklisted.properties" file for bundle blacklisting.

+
+URIs should use 'mvn:' scheme, to allow version/version ranges parsing. Replacement URI should use concrete version
+- no range. Original URI may use version ranges to indicate which version is eligible for replacement. E.g,:
+ * mvn:groupId/artifactId/[1,2) - bundle location will be overriden for versions 1, 1.1, 1.4.3, 1.9.99, ...
+ * mvn:groupId/artifactId/[2,*) - bundle location will be overriden for version 2.0, 3.1, 4.2, ...

+URIs can't use globs for Maven components (groupId, artifactId, ...).
+
+mode="osgi" is used for etc/overrides.properties compatibility - symbolic name should be equal (requires

+When reading etc/overrides.properties, groupId and artifactId will match anyway, but if configured in XML, they do
+not have to match.
+
+with mode="maven", only location matching is done and target version is not compared - this is useful
+to replace bundle using different groupId/artifactId. The most common case is e.g.,
+"org.eclipse.jetty.orbit/javax.servlet/[3,4)" -> "org.apache.geronimo.specs/geronimo-servlet_3.0_spec/1.0" replacement.
