Description

I want to allow specifying bundles by maven style names rather than file paths in startup.properties, like this:

org.ops4j.pax.url\:pax-url-mvn\:${pax.url.version}=5

Note the : needs to be escaped so it's not interpreted as the key/value delimiter.

I have two reasons:

• they look nicer
• I'm writing some maven plugins that run "karaf" and I want to make it easy to run against the local maven repo rather than constructing an entire instance and copying all the jars.
