Maven exec plugin- how to include “system” classpath?

Question

I have a project that uses \"system\" scope to specify a jar file included in my project\'s WEB-INF/lib dir. This artifact is not in any of the maven repositori

As E.G. pointed out, the solution is to use the compile scope when running exec.

On each invocation:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.classpathScope=compile

or directly in the exec-plugin-configuration:

     
        org.codehaus.mojo
        exec-maven-plugin
        ...
        
              compile
