System scoped dependencies are only available on the classpath during the compile and test cycle and are not passed on transitively. Regards Jorg

Yeah, I used something similar to host a fake repo:
com.example.project
file://${basedir}/local-repo

Sure, but there are situations when you have either some jars that
cannot be deployed on a repository, either because they're highly
specific or proprietary.
Anyway, thanks for the confirmation.

It might however also be possible to define a repository using the file protocol, like: localfilerepo custom repo file://my/repo/dir but i haven't tried this yet. In any case, constructs like this defeat the purpose of what maven is (should be) all about. The long term solution lies in maven advocacy towards other projects, as frustrating as this may sound.

Now this leads to a question I haven't found an answer to: is it possible with M2 to have local dependencies, i.e. jars that are in _no_ repository, just like the "lib" directory in our 2.1 branch? That would avoid having to maintain a local repository as an interim place for the main one. Sylvain I think you can achieve the same effect by having a repository within the project and then set the project properties to include it. Ralph

cvs.a.o dependency reduction
fyi, I've removed daisy-util, daisy-htmlcleaner and xreporter-expression from cvs.a.o as they are now on ibiblio. Note that the groupid has changed and that daisy-util is now transitively depended on through daisy-htmlcleaner. The whole process ([1], [2] and [3]) took about 10 days, which isn't that bad I guess. I'll request more of our dependent libs to be uploaded sometime this week. Feel free to help out, instructions on how to create the bundle archive are at [4].
