Maven - turn off warnings for specific pom

Question

I have a dependency that sometimes cannot be resolved (don't get to it... it is ok)

<dependency>
<groupId>com.g.g</groupId>
<artifactId>art123</artifactId> 
<version>1</version>
<type>rar</type>  
<scope>system</scope
    <systemPath>some location</systemPath>
</dependency>

when I clean install the entire project I get warning for this dependency (when it cannot be resolved). Is there any way to turn off this warning? I tried to add

<optional>true</oprional>

to the dependency but still got the warnings.

I think that you have misunderstood how optional dependencies work.

To solve your problem, I suggest that you create two profiles with different dependencies (see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/167284/303598).

You should never use system-scoped dependencies. Put this dependency into a repository manager and change your dependency to a usual dependency. I recommend really to use a repository manager (alphabetical order: archiva, artifactory, nexus).
