Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-5505: ------------------------------------ For testing plugins you should make a separate integration test and you can either set the dependencies section of the plugin in the test. We have many examples of testing plugins that work in a portable way without runtime manipulation of the classpath or use the system scope dependencies (which are going away). > Support system scope for additional dependencies of plugins > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5505 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5505 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Marcin Wisnicki > > Sometimes I want to quickly test something with a jars outside maven and it > would be nice if I could simply add it as system scope of e.g. exec plugin. > Currently such dependencies are completely ignored. > Yes I know you would rather have me wasting time with install-file.
