If the other dependency is also managed by maven, you can build it with
install goal, and it will end up in your local repository and you won't
need to readd it every time. Looking at jar-with-dependencies assembly
definition it only includes runtime dependencies, and this imposes a
question - are system dependencies considered available at runtime?
