title: how to add a local jar as a dependency to a maven project?
body: <p>I am new to Maven and I want to add <a href="http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~simardr/ssj/indexe.html" rel="nofollow">SSJ</a> library to dependencies in a maven project, I tried adding this in the POM.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;ca.umontreal.iro&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;ssj&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;2.5&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;scope&gt;provided&lt;/scope&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but eclipse is giving this error: <code>Missing artifact ca.umontreal.iro:ssj-2.5</code></p>
  
  <p>It seems that it's not found in the repository.. I have the jar file, how can I add it to dependencies? if possible. If not, what would be the alternative to include this jar in the project?</p>
