* use jar-overrides (search google for that one)
* copy the proprietary jar files to your own maven repository (if you haven't tinkered with your settings, they are in (windows) C:\Documents and settings\username\.maven\repository) in a structure that mimicks maven's structure.
So if you have websphere.jar which you need, then putting it in c:\documents&settings\ben\.maven\repository\ibm\jars\websphere.jar
and using: <dependency> <groupId>ibm</groupId> <artifactId>websphere</artifactId> <jar>websphere.jar</jar> </dependency>
should do the trick. It is better to use some versionnumber for the jar, so you know which version of 'websphere.jar' you use (is better for later reference).
Perhaps it is even benificial to set up your own maven 'remote' repository where you can deploy your own artifacts for reference by other projects, and where you can put the proprietary libraries. This repository doesn't have to be public to the rest of the world.

That article set me pretty straight. Maven's site might want to do a better job at pointing people to the articles, since they are much more valuable than Maven's own documentation. Anyways, I'm still left with a couple of questions:
I went here to find various dependencies: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/
I was able to use this approach:
<dependency>
<groupId>itext</groupId>
<artifactId>itext</artifactId>
<version>0.99</version>
</dependency>
to satisfy some, but unfortunately our app is dependent on quite a few
proprietary jars. I'm still unsure of how to set my classpath...
something like this?
<dependency>
<jar>${websphere.compileTimeClasses}/ejs.jar</jar>
</dependency>
would this work if websphere.compileTimeClasses was set? If so, how do I set
it? Like this?
<ant:property name="websphere.compileTimeClasses" value="c:/path/to"/>
If so, where do I put it?
I'd prefer not to have to copy all the jars into my local repository.
