Can I add a java package as Maven dependency?

In my code I've used the java.nio.file package extensively. However, my server has jre6, so I get a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException exception.

I would like to add the java.nio.file package as a dependency in Maven and package it within the jar created after Maven install.

Is this possible? If yes, how?

There is no way to use it, no. The java.nio.file package has dependencies on other source files and packages/libraries that are not freely available. You'll need to upgrade to java7 to use them.
