Description

Module A has a system dependency on tools.jar - this works out fine. The module is built and artifact(s) deployed.

Module B has A as a dependency. During transitive dependency resolution, tools.jar must be resolved. However, it appears that m2 is attempting to resolve it as a non-system dependency.
