easy way to add dependencies which aren't in a public maven repo

[mjg123]

Whenever I want to write a function which depends on a jar that isn't in a public maven repo it's a pain. I end up creating a custom Dockerfile with something like:

COPY deps /usr/share/maven/ref/repository

to pre-seed the in-image maven repo cache with stuff I am working on right now. This could actually be in the boilerplate, no?

@mjg123 why not use maven install-file plugin ?
