Do not use system scope.

Install the downloaded file to local repository.

If you have both pom & artifact

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DpomFile=<path-to-pomfile>

To have its dependencies also resolved correctly - so not to add every dependency by hand - you need the pom.

If you do not have the pom

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=**group-id** \
    -DartifactId=**artifact-id** -Dversion=**version** -Dpackaging=<packaging>

Without pom the dependencies of installed artifact can not be resolved automatically and you need to manually install them (preferably with pom).

Then just add it as dependency:

<dependency>
   <groupId>***group-id**</groupId>
   <artifactId>**artifact-id**</artifactId>
   <version>**version**</version>
</dependency>
