What you can do is just manually copy it into the maven repository where you 
installed everything. There will be a repository directory. Create a 
directory in there called 'bob', and then a subdirectory called 'jars', and 
put the jar in there as bob-1.0.jar. When you run maven afterwards it should 
find it :-)
