[jira] Commented: (MNG-2626) System scope dependencies in parent POM cause validation warnings for most plugins and errors in assembly plugin

["Gabriel Moreira (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Gabriel Moreira commented on MNG-2626:
--------------------------------------

Has any accepted solution for this bug or another related open bug?


Im trying to create these maven projects:
 - WebSphere 6.1 Runtime Libraries (using system scoped dependency path ${was61.home}/lib/XXXX.jar from developer machine settings.xml)
 - WebSphere 5.1 Runtime Libraries (using system scoped dependency path ${was51.home}/lib/YYYY.jar from developer machine settings.xml)
 - JBoss 4 Runtime Libraries ... (using system scoped dependency ...)
 - JBoss 5 Runtime Libraries ..(using system scoped dependency ...)
 - "My Framework" Libraries ... 
 - "My Portal" Runtime Libraries ... 

to use with our corporate applications:
  
  MyApp01 depends 'WebSphere 6.1 Runtime Libraries' and 'My Framework Libraries'
  MyApp02 depends 'WebSphere 5.1 Runtime Libraries' and 'My Portal Runtime Libraries'

but with maven (2.0 and 2.1)  we are getting error:

"system-scoped dependency must specify an absolute path systemPath."  for every system scoped dependency on imported POM.xml

> When system scope dependencies are in a parent POM and the systemPath for those variables contain a variable to be interpolated as a root path, maven throws off a lot of spurious warnings that the POM does not validate because system paths need to be absolute.  An example of this in a parent POM (where ${jboss.home} is defined in ~/.m2/settings.xml):
> {code:xml}
> 		<dependency>
> 			<groupId>jboss</groupId>
> 			<artifactId>activation</artifactId>
> 			<version>4.0.4.GA</version>
> 			<scope>system</scope>
> 			<systemPath>${jboss.home}/server/default/lib/activation.jar</systemPath>
> 		</dependency>
> {code}
> In discussing this with John and Jason online, both apparently have generic implementations that can go in at some point, but this is something I would like to get into 2.0.5.  The patch is ~25 lines of new code with one replaced.  
> It's marked as blocker because we use the assembly plugin, which fails the build on the validation problem where most other plugins just enumerate every system scope dependency.  For now, I will distribute the patched version around the company though :-)
> thanks
