Description

If I go to the OSGi configuration of the JCR Resource Resolver to the entry for resource.resolver.mapping it says in the description that the format of each entry is <incomingURLPrefix><op><outgoingURLPrefix>. It is very confusing what is meant by incoming and by outgoing.

The internal path is always on the left and the external one on the right. But if you go to the config Manager, the description of the JCR Resource Resolver is wrong. It reads "Form ist <externalURLPrefix><op><internalURLPrefix>", implying that the external one would be on the left. So the description is rather confusing.
Therefore the operator ">" and "<" is exactly the wrong direction, because ">" does indeed mean incoming requests (but since the internal form stands on the right the arrow points in the wrong direction). Please fix the description and also make the operator more intuitive (although this would break backwards compatibility)
