> I would like to be able to specify a system path for any dependency regardless of the scope. For example, I would like to mark junit-3.8.1 as a being in the "test" scope, yet point at a jar that is not in the repository. Something like this:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>junit</groupId>
> <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
> <version>3.8.1</version>
> <path>${cots.top}/junit/junit.jar</path>
> </dependency>
> I don't want to mark it as "system" scope, simply to say it is not in the repository because that would lose the fact that it is really something scoped for the unit test phase.
> I understand the preferred way to use maven is to install 3rd-party artifacts in the repository (and the public ibiblio repository if possible), but the culture in my company will not allow it (for reasons I cannot state). Without this feature I will be forced to mark all 3rd-party jars as "system" scoped, which I want to avoid. Regardless of my special circumstances, this feature would add a little more flexibility to maven for handling special cases. I would be happy to help out with the implementation.
