        Why is this an issue?

        system dependencies are sought at a specific, specified path. This drastically reduces portability because if you deploy your artifact in an environment that’s not configured just like yours is, your code won’t work.

        Noncompliant code example

        <dependency>
          <groupId>javax.sql</groupId>
          <artifactId>jdbc-stdext</artifactId>
          <version>2.0</version>
          <scope>system</scope>  <!-- Noncompliant -->
          <systemPath>/usr/bin/lib/rt.jar</systemPath>  <!-- remove this -->
        </dependency>
        

        Compliant solution

        <dependency>
          <groupId>javax.sql</groupId>
          <artifactId>jdbc-stdext</artifactId>
          <version>2.0</version>
          <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
