Build your 3rd party libraries using their build tools.
Install those artifacts into your Maven repo using mvn install or mvn deploy.
Add dependencies to those artifacts in your own poms.

Or, write poms for those projects and start using Maven to manage them
similar to your own projects/code.

How can I use Maven with external libraries that don't have Maven support?
For example, my application uses libraries from sources that I get from
CVS/SVN, and while there are some libraries that have Maven support (meaning
there are plugins, repositories, etc that make it easy to get the source
using Maven), most do not.

How could I take advantage of Maven to simplify my development cycle with
external libraries that don't really know/care what Maven is? (I'm new to
Maven, so your help in clarifying this for me would be highly appreciated.)
