Simpler workaround: modify the MANIFEST.MF file of the affected plugins (currently org.apache.xerces and org.apache.xml.resolver) to replace the required-bundle system.bundle with org.eclipse.osgi. You do not have to specify the precise version number. Remember to put back the original after you've run the eclipse:to-maven goal!

This obviates the need to create a spurious system.bundle artifact in the Maven repository.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug

>         Environment: Observed under MS Windows XP, probably affects all environments

> Install vanilla download of Eclipse RCP Developer (version 3.3.1.1, Europa). Try to install its plugins into the local Maven repository using
> mvn -DeclipseDir="/path/to/eclipse" eclipse:to-maven
> The error you get is:
> {code}[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Unable to resolve version range for dependency Dependency {groupId=system
> , artifactId=bundle, version=[0,), type=jar} in project org.apache.xerces
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------{code}
> My investigations have established that this can be worked around by (a) creating a Maven artifact called "system.bundle" using file:deploy-file, and (b) altering the manifest file to add the specific version number of that artifact to the above bundle requirement. You have to do this for every single Eclipse plugin that has a dependency on the OSGi system bundle. This is very laborious!
> I tried expressing the version number in the manifest as a range, but that didn't work. In other cases, where a version range is required, it seems to work fine, but not for system.bundle. See my blog at http://aspsp.blogspot.com/ for more details.
