I have an application which run on IBM Was. It is a maven Project and On its dependency tree There are some was runtime dependencies but their scopes are system.
These system scope jars do not exists in .m2/repository or our local nexus. But I can compile Project (mvn clean install) in my local environment. Some how, maven could find these jars.

System scope dependecies are not downloaded from nexus repositories. They supposed to exist in the system where it is specified in pom file. I have realized there are some system path in the pom file and releted jar should exists in this folder. In order to solve the problem, I have created a folder in the exact same location and copied all related jars to this folder. Afterwards, I was able to compile the Project.
Sample pom file content for system scope dependency, For this sample missing jars should be copied to c:\SharedSystemLib. That's all.
