Thanks a lot Wayne, that's great help. It does seem a lot of work to do this for every jar file the project depends on but I guess I can write a script to do it.
I feel that the documentation for Maven is not that good. Its not very clear or well structured, making it hard to find what you need, especially for people who are new to it. For example, the Introduction to Repositories page (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html), which talks about Internal Repositories, contains no information about using mvn deploy:deploy-file. There's also hardly anything on this in the Better Build with Maven book from Mergere. I think this is a gap in the Maven documentation. But I also feel that the Maven documentation is weakness in the Maven project generally and probably hinders it's adoption.

mvn install:install-file and mvn deploy:deploy-file are your friends -- and they are very well-documented [1] [2] including a FAQ [3]. Assuming you have oc4j.jar and want to push it into the shared corporate repo: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.oracle.jdeveloper -DartifactId=oc4j -Dversion=10.1.3.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=oc4j.jar -DgeneratePom=true -DrepositoryId=your_id -Durl=file://somewhere/m2/repo You will have to pick the groupId, artifactId, version for all your jars. Also, you will need to follow the directions regarding setting up the repositoryId in your settings.xml and of course get the right file:// path. But that's it.
