How to use maven-install-plugin to install-file for module

Question

With this projects structure I cannot install the sqljdbc4.jar to my local maven repository.

This is LiferayBuild/pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

                        <phase>install</phase>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

And this is Liferay/pom.xml

When I Run as... Maven install, I get a BUILD FAILURE

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project Liferay: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.realsoft:Liferay:jar:1.2.1: Failure to find com.microsoft.sqlserver:sqljdbc4:jar:4.0 in http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

What can I do to get the jar installed to my local repository? I have already tried the suggestions from http://blog.valdaris.com/post/custom-jar/ but with no outcome. Please help!

Thanks, I have used

<phase>clean</phase>

and moved the lib folder to my basedir of my multi-module project.
