How to build a project on github with pom.xml

This might be a naive question, so pardon me but I am new to maven. I want to build a jar of project present on github. The project has a pom.xml file and additionally mentions in
Installation Note: Releases are distributed on Maven central:

<dependency>
  <groupId>some_grp_id</groupId>
  <artifactId>all</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.2</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Am I suppose to add above in the existing pom.xml file ?? I an cloning the project on my desktop and then executing "mvn package".

If you want to simply use the library then you only have to add the above dependency to your pom.xml. Maven is doing all the rest for you (downloading the .jar-file).

If you really want to use the source code you have to do a

mvn install

on the checked out code. And also have to include the dependency in your own pom.xml.
