+This bundle contains all the libraries of Batik 1.12.
+
+It doesn't contain `xml-apis-1.4.01.jar` which comes with the Batik distribution,
+because this version is intended to be used with Java 11 and later versions only.
+
+Java 9+ contains two system modules: `java.xml` and `jdk.xml.dom` which contains all the
+relevant packages/classes contained by `xml-apis-1.4.01.jar`.
+
+Eclipse bundles javax.xml bundle via Orbit but this bundle does not depend on that,
+only on the systems own XML modules.
