elharo opened a new issue, #1485: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-site/issues/1485
### Bug description Are system dependencies really not recommended or deprecated? In particular is it reasonable to expect people to install their own Maven repository in order to fork and replace an artifact instead of just using a system dependency? Hypothesis: the real purpose of a system dependency is to more easily install a different jar in a local project with the same coordinates as an existing jar. This is freedom of in free software: "The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this." ### Maven site URL where bug exists https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
