Ah. I see where you went wrong. It's not even that complicated. Use
the following command to add your jar files to your local repository:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id>
-DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>
Example: mvn install:install-file -Dfile=myjar.jar -DgroupId=myjar
-DartifactId=myjar -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
Then, in your pom.xml you would refer to this new artifact/dependency
like this: (using the same example)
<dependency>
<groupId>myjar</groupId>
<artifactId>myjar</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
Then, your build will pick up the jar you want it to use.
Good luck!

Thanks Dave for such a quick response.
I started from jar files w/o pom files. So I went to maven repository web site
http://www.mvnrepository.com/ and search for those jars. Some of those jars
were available under different groups ids but same artifact id like
saax-api-1.3.jar is found under javax.xml as javax.xml.soap as well. I picked
the most appropriate one using educated guesses. May be that is causing some
trouble. How can I find out the correct version of group ids and artifacts ids
:-(
Thanks,

Unless you specified the proper versions and classifiers for
your
dependencies, then Maven is likely to find the ones that
are available
in the primary repository. Assuming that you used Maven to
install your
jar files into your local repository, make sure that your
pom.xml
specifies the same groupId, artifactId, and version that
you used when
you did that installation. Otherwise, Maven won't find
them and will go
looking for anything else that matches your pom.xml.
I hope that's helpful.

I have simple web services demo which I created in
Eclipse and added external jar files to project. I am able
to run it successfully unit tests in eclipse IDE.
Now I have moved the code to maven project and added
dependencies tho those jar files in my pom file. And now the
maven project fails complaining
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com/sun/xml/fastinfoset/stax/StAXDocumentParser".
I installed all jars files manually in my totally new
maven repo but maven first downloads pom files for those
manually installed jars and then download other jar files
which are defined as dependencies in those new downloaded
pom files. I do not want any of those newly downloaded jar
files. I know my manually installed jar files are good
enough to run the project (as shown in eclipse) but maven is
doing some thing stupid amd making my project fail at run
time complaining of missing class files.
How could I resolve this issue in most cleanest way.I
hope that I am able to explain problem clearly.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Petr
