You can use the install command to get a jar into your local repository.
eg. for suns activation.jar which I happen to have at hand
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.activation
-DartifactId=activation
-Dversion=1.0.2
-Dfile=activation.jar
-Dpackaging=jar
-DgeneratePom=true
For remote repositories there will in future be a deploy:deploy-file
equivalent but this is still in the snapshot at present.

In maven 2, do I have a way to add jar files to repositories manually? I need a
few jars for my project that dont seem to be present in the maven 2 remote
repository. Instead of hunting down a url for it, I'd prefer using my local
copy. The repository folder in maven 2 seems to be different from maven 1.x. In
1.x, it used to work fine if I just copy my jars to the jars folder of each
artifact. But in m2, it seems to be requiring a pom file along with this jar, I
get an error like this -
[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).
Project ID: xdoclet:xdoclet-web-module
Reason: Error getting POM for 'xdoclet:xdoclet-web-module' from the repository:
Error transferring file
xdoclet:xdoclet-web-module:pom:1.2.2 from the specified remote repositories:
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
Some of my required jars include xdoclet's 1.2.2 version modules, which aren't
present in m2's default repository. I dropped a xdoclet-web-module-1.2.2.jar in
.m2\repository\xdoclet\xdoclet-web-module\1.2.2 folder, and that caused the
above error.
Thanks
Karthik.
