I used this command to do it, you can find more at the link below
mvn install:install-file \ -Dfile=<path-to-file> \ -DgroupId=<group-id> \ -DartifactId=<artifact-id> \ -Dversion=<version> \ -Dpackaging=<packaging> \ -DgeneratePom=true
[How to add local jar files to a Maven project?][1]

[1]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4955635/how-to-add-local-jar-files-to-a-maven-project

Install the JAR into your local Maven repository (typically `.m2` in your home folder) as follows:
mvn install:install-file \ -Dfile=<path-to-file> \ -DgroupId=<group-id> \ -DartifactId=<artifact-id> \ -Dversion=<version> \ -Dpackaging=<packaging> \ -DgeneratePom=true
Where each refers to:
`<path-to-file>`: the path to the file to load e.g → `c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar`
`<group-id>`: the group that the file should be registered under e.g → `com.google.code`
`<artifact-id>`: the artifact name for the file e.g → `kaptcha`
`<version>`: the version of the file e.g → `2.3`
`<packaging>`: the packaging of the file e.g. → `jar`
