Description

My project use system dependencies pointing to class folders.

<dependency>
<groupId>class-folder</groupId>
<artifactId>class-folder</artifactId>
<version>N</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>C:/appli/classes</systemPath>
</dependency>

Such class folders dependencies worked fine with maven 2.0.7
They are needed by my project as it relies on a legacy application not packaged into a jar file.

Root cause is located in file DefaultArtifactResolver.java:

if ( !systemFile.isFile() )

{ throw new ArtifactNotFoundException( "System artifact: " + artifact + " is not a file: " + systemFile, artifact ); }
