What is this "Batik DOM (SVG) bugfix"?

[claudio-rosati]

POM file contains the following:

<artifact>
  <id>org.codehaus.cargo:empty-jar:1.4.13</id>
  <instructions>
	<Bundle-Name>Batik DOM SVG bugfix</Bundle-Name>
	<Bundle-SymbolicName>org.csstudio.batik.dom.svg.fragment</Bundle-SymbolicName>
	<Bundle-Version>1.0.0</Bundle-Version>
	<Fragment-Host>org.apache.batik.dom.svg;bundle-version="1.7.0"</Fragment-Host>
	<Require-Bundle>org.apache.batik.ext.awt;bundle-version="1.7.0"</Require-Bundle>
  </instructions>
</artifact>
<artifact>
  <id>org.codehaus.cargo:empty-jar:1.4.12</id>
  <instructions>
	<Bundle-Name>Batik DOM bugfix</Bundle-Name>
	<Bundle-SymbolicName>org.csstudio.batik.dom.fragment</Bundle-SymbolicName>
	<Bundle-Version>1.0.0</Bundle-Version>
	<Fragment-Host>org.apache.batik.dom;bundle-version="1.7.0"</Fragment-Host>
	<Require-Bundle>org.w3c.dom.smil;bundle-version="1.0.1"</Require-Bundle>
  </instructions>
</artifact>

why? It is possible to remove them and just depend on Batik 1.8 or 1.9.1? It is just creating a conflict with JavaFxSvg (SVG loader for JavaFX) because of the required org.w3c.dom.smil dependency (no more used in since batik 1.8).
