> 1) junit:junit:jar:3.8.1
>   Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
>   Then, install it using the command:
>       mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=junit -DartifactId=junit -Dversion=3.8.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
>   Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:

>         2) junit:junit:jar:3.8.1
> ----------
> 1 required artifact is missing.
> for artifact:
>   org.home.mvnsample:mvnsample:jar:1.0-ALPHA2
> from the specified remote repositories:
>   central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
> {noformat}
> This implies that the {{junit.jar}} is being sought in Maven Central, whereas in fact it is supposed to be in a local directory.
> It would be a lot easier to debug errors in the systemPath if the error message showed where Maven was actually looking for it.
