You can create POMs for those artifacts and create an upload bundle.
Then publish a request on Jira for uploading.
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html
The best solution would be to get those jar published by Oo.org themselve.
Did you try to contact them for this ? You may sugget your home mades
POMs to openoffice developpers for approval prior to creating an upload
request. Notice those POMs are not required to be used to build the
artifact, they only need to describe them, so Oo.org developer don't
have to migrate there build process to be maven compliant.

Hi all,
I'm moving the JOOReports and JOOConverter
(http://jooreports.sourceforge.net) open source projects to a
maven2-based build, with an eye to publishing the artifacts to a
public repository.
The migration was very easy thanks to the excellent documentation,
especially "Better Builds with Maven".
Now for the issue. JOOConverter converts between different document
formats using OpenOffice.org automation. To do so it depends on some
jars provided by OpenOffice.org. These jars are included in any
OpenOffice.org installation. They aren *not* available in any public
maven repository. I've raised an issue with the OOo team asking them
to publish the jars but I'll be very surprised if they actually listen
to that request.
I'd like some advice on how to declare them as dependencies, so that
projects that in turn depends on JOOConverter will get them as
transitive dependencies with minimum effort. Options I see are
1. install OOo jars manually on the local m2 repo with mvn
install:install-file; users will have to do the same; or
2. declare OOo jars as system dependencies, e.g.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.openoffice</groupId>
<artifactId>unoil</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${openoffice.home}/program/classes/unoil.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
and have users pass
mvn -Dopenoffice.home=/path/to/their/openoffice ...
(but system jars don't seem to get packaged e.g. in webapps)
A third (and probably the best) option would be to publish these jars
under the JOOConverter groupId, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to do
this since I'm not the author.
Thanks
Mirko
