Copying only the jar to local repo will not help unless you also copy the related pom files. Maven is caching files and if the file was not accessible (e.g. no internet, wrong proxy settings, etc.), maven still remembers it. So remove the cached files (remove whole the particular folder from your .m2 repo) and try to build again. If you have the connection correct and you have also defined the repository where to download the file from, you should be fine.
I'm not sure if this jar file is in maven central, try to add this to your pom.xml or maven settings file.
