As mentioned in comments System scope is deprecated. best approach is use an artifact manager like jFrog artifactory or install your preferred dependency in your local repository {home-dir}\.m2.
To do this you can use Maven install command:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> -DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>
suppose we have a my.jar file located in project root directory src\lib\my.jar
Then add it as regular dependency to dependencies of my project:
<dependency> <groupId>a.b</groupId> <artifactId>my</artifactId> <version>9.0.0</version> </dependency>
But if you want an automated way to install your jars that are located in src/lib into your local repository can utilize Maven install plugin:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>install-external-non-maven-jar</id> <phase>clean</phase> <configuration> <repositoryLayout>default</repositoryLayout> <groupId>a.b</groupId> <artifactId>my</artifactId> <version>9.0.0</version> <file>${basedir}/src/lib/my.jar</file> <packaging>jar</packaging> <generatePom>true</generatePom> </configuration> <goals> <goal>install-file</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
By executing mvn clean command, my.jar file will be installed in local repository and then by mvn package or mvn install command execution, your war file will be created.
