Description

I think you should be able to specify a systemPath for your dependencies for test as well as compile time (system scope). Why? Well WebLogic for example, Bea has designed their weblogic.jar so you cannot move it out of WL_HOME/server/lib/ This means I cannot e.g. create a plugin that can do WebLogic server management before my integration tests are launched because I can only for compile time specify a dependency to c:/bea/weblogic81/server/lib/weblogic.jar or whereever I have installed my WebLogic server. I do not want to manage my WebLogic server at compile time.
