See http://wiki.osgi.org/wiki/System_Bundle for description what system.bundle is. There is no point in any bundle requiring system.bundle unless they call stuff from org.osgi.framework which neither xalan-j2 nor xml-commons do. Please open bug reports against the respective packages to fix their osgi manifests. TBH, we probably can move the system.bundle provide (it's manual) to eclipse-equinox-osgi. Chris, would you please take care of moving this provides.
