Description

When running eclipse:make-artifacts with -DresolveVersionRanges=true, it dies with the following error:

[INFO] Unable to resolve version range for dependency Dependency

{groupId=system.bundle, artifactId=system.bundle, version=[0,), type=jar}

in project org.apache.xml.org.apache.xml.resolver

It turns out that "system.bundle" is a keyword in OSGi that (broadly speaking) refers to the JRE itself, and thus need not/should not be included in the POM as a dependency. I've got a patch for this coming up in a moment.
