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

> Sometimes I want to quickly test something with a jars outside maven and it

> Currently such dependencies are completely ignored.

> Alternatively, is it possible to make a plugin that could manipulate another 
> plugin's classpath (not silently installing jars into local repo) ?
