Place them in the repository and make a dependency in project.xml:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>mysql</groupId>
            <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.14-bin</version>
            <type>jar</type>
            <properties>
                <war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
            </properties>
        </dependency>

The property <war.bundle>true</war.bundle> will tell maven to copy the file
from the maven repository to your webapp/WEB-INF/lib dir.
