What are you trying to accomplish?

This package is a virtual Eclipse IDE plugin that does not exist in any Maven repository. Dependabot was spending ~25 seconds per job making HTTP requests that always returned 404.

After this change, we filter it out at parse time via a VIRTUAL_PACKAGES constant so version checking is never attempted.

Fixes #14877

How will you know you've accomplished your goal?

Both existing and new tests pass
