I have a Spring-Boot project (2.7.18) and a dependency to a local jar in my pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>MyJar</groupId>
    <artifactId>MyJar</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${project.basedir}/../ExtLibs/MyJar.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

I get an error (inside Eclipse IDE) there.

dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for MyJar:MyJar:jar must specify an absolute path but is ${project.basedir}/../ExtLibs/MyJar.jar    

So I change to an absolute path.

<systemPath>/home/max/prjs/ExtLibs/MyJar.jar</systemPath>

Now the error is gone – but I get a warning.

dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for MyJar:MyJar:jar should use a variable instead of a hard-coded path /home/max/prjs/ExtLibs/MyJar.jar

So what now?? Any idea I can make that error and warning free??
