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. Ok, I can open the bugs, but I'm actually the owner of xalan-j2, so that's just going to come right back to me. (and actually, somebody just emailed xalan-j2-owners about it). :-) Could you help me determine the correct way to get rid of this dep? Thanks.
