title: Add dependency to Maven without editing pom.xml
body: <p>I'm trying to add a JAR local file as a dependency to a Maven project in Eclipse, but I have the restriction that the client doesn't want me to edit the <code>pom.xml</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>My JAR is located in WEB-INF/lib. I tried the solution proposed in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9733027/adding-jar-file-to-web-inf-lib">Adding Jar File to WEB-INF/lib</a> but it didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>To verify that the project compiles correctly adding the JAR, I added it in the <code>pom.xml</code> file in my machine and it worked.</p>
  
  <p>The official documentation of Maven proposes three solutions, all of them involve editing the <code>pom.xml</code> file: <a href="http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependencies" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependencies</a></p>
  
  <p>Is it actually possible to include a JAR dependency to a Maven project without editing the <code>pom.xml</code> file?</p>
