Either you can use system scope and provide path OR you can install your custom jar to your local maven repository

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/path/to/your.jar -DgroupId=com.your.group.id 
-DartifactId=your-custom-artifact-id -Dversion=some-version -Dpackaging=jar

and/or maven repository which is shared across developers

This link http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html shows how to use maven import to add your own jars to your maven repository

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> \
    -DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>
