Invalid systemPath allows build to continue--failing in later phase. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3288 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3288 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Dependencies Affects Versions: 2.0.7 Reporter: David Siefert Priority: Minor Attachments: systempath-issue.zip When the system scoped dependency is specified as follows: <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${env.USERPROFILE}/.m2/repository/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.2.jar</systemPath> </dependency> Maven fails and complains correctly (junit-3.8.2.jar is incorrect, and should be junit-3.8.1.jar). However, when the following is used: <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${env.USERPROFILE}/.m2/repository/junit/junit</systemPath> </dependency> Maven DOES NOT COMPLAIN, the build process proceeds and fails later in the compile/testCompile build phases since the dependency is not available. You can see attached minimal project.
