I try to things work according to this

My file is somewhere locally so I use this in the pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>opt</groupId>
    <artifactId>Copt</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>

Normally, Maven downloads all dependencies automatically from the remote repository (a repository, which has almost all libraries). But sometimes, due to some issues, the remote repositories cannot have jar files and in this case, you should download jar file manually and install this jar file into your local maven repository(the maven repository in your local computer) manually.

If i understood correctly, you want to add a custom jar file to your local maven repository. The link explains how you should do it. I have learnt also from here. If it will not help, this or this links may help.
