The best way: Maven works only with repositories (local and remote), but you can define a remote repository with the file protocol.
maven.remote.repo = http://www.ibiblio.org/maven,file:///<your_directory>/ If you use the file protocol, you must respect the repository structure in your directory. The bad way: You can write a maven.xml, and add all you jars present in your lib directory to the maven classpath with addpath tag.
