Hi, In the Maven's documentation, you can find the system scope : * system* - this scope is similar to provided except that you have to provide the JAR which contains it explicitly. The artifact is always available and is not looked up in a repository. cf. http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html
It is not mentionned nowhere else, even in the maven 2 book. I am wondering if this scope is usefull and when to use it. Did you have a good example for using this scope ? Best regards, Rémy
