Well you have a local jar that you want to import to your maven project
You can do this one
<dependency> <groupId>myjar</groupId> <artifactId>myjar</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${basedir}/lib/myjar.jar</systemPath> </dependency>
But it is not recomended .
Instead install the jar to your local repository
pathtomaven/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path/myjar.jar \ -DgroupId=myjar \ -DartifactId=myjar \ -Dversion=1.1 \ -Dpackaging=jar
and in your pom file
<dependency> <groupId>myjar</groupId> <artifactId>myjar</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </dependency>
