Sharing dependencies not in central repo with the project

I understand how to add local JARs not in Maven's central repo to allow them to be used in my project as per this SO answer.

However, I'm not sure how I'm going to distribute the project for others to use like this. In the past, I merely had an Eclipse project that included local JARs and those JARs were distributed with the project (in its git repo).

If I use Maven, I'd have to add these local JARs to the local repository, which is in a different location from the project.

So how do I make my project easy to build with these local JARs in mind? Do I just tell the user how to add them to the local repo? Is there a better solution?

Ideally, users would clone my git repo and merely have to run mvn install without having to do ANYTHING with dependencies. The dependencies should be my problem, not my users.

Yeah. You could do that, by creating local repo and adding this repo to git repository. I guess it's better than ask user to install it by themselves.

For concrete example take a look on my project with local repo - https://github.com/MysterionRise/mavenized-jcuda
