Description

This issue came up using sonar-maven-plugin.
When dealing with managed transitive system-scoped dependencies, sonar analysis crashed.

According to sonar plugin maintainers, this is an issue in Maven dependency tree library, and not in sonar-maven-plugin itself.
In order to allow this plugin to work correctly in this situation, without modifications that would break backward compatibility, a fix for this issue is needed in a 2.1 branch of Maven dependency tree library.

The external issue given includes a link to a detailed reproducer.
