I have hit this bug
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4809
Quoting it,
We cannot specify variables to define a system path. Maven complains about
absolute path. This is a pain which forces us to either hard code the path
or use -DlocalRepository flag.
Is there a way to use settings from settings.xml to refer to this property?
<systemPath>${settings.localRepository}/my.jar</systemPath>
Am using,
Apache Maven 3.0-beta-2 (r983206; 2010-08-07 16:30:51+0530)
Can anyone please suggest a good workaround other than specifying a hard
coded path or passing -DlocalRepository flag, if one exists.
Thanks much,
Hari
