I don't know if this could help in your case, but it's possible to use a
local jar by adding the <systemPath> element to the dependency in the pom:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>foo</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <systemPath>lib/foo-1.0.jar</systemPath>
  </dependency>

It would work only at build time though, such a dependency couldn't be
resolved once the pom is installed in /usr/share/maven-repo.
