Brian Topping commented on MNG-2626:
------------------------------------
Hmm, that XML was supposed to be as follows:
{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}
> System scope dependencies in parent POM cause validation warnings for most
> plugins and errors in assembly plugin
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-2626
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2626
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Errors
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Brian Topping
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: interpolation.patch
>
>
> 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
