To expand the first point of Wayne, go here:

You essentially have two options:

1. Install the jar in your repo using "mvn install:install-file ...".
This is the suggested route to take.
2. Declare the dependency using <scope>system</scope> and provide the
path to the dependency in your project (ie /lib/my.jar). For various
reasons, this is not suggested.
