How to skip local dependencies using Maven

I have a local jar project like so:

    <groupId>com.oresoftware</groupId>
    <artifactId>async.0.1</artifactId>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <version>0.1.101</version>
    <name>org.ores.async.Asyncc</name>
    <url>https://github.com/ORESoftware/async.java</url>

in another Maven project, I refer to it with:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.oresoftware</groupId>
  <artifactId>async.0.1</artifactId>
  <version>0.1.101</version>
</dependency>

if I run mvn clean install from my library, I believe the other project will use the local dependency. My question is - how can I test the dependency that comes from the network? 

mvn clean install -DskipLocalDeps

Is there some maven command that can ignore locally created dependencies? And only install dependencies retrieved from the network?

update:

I think one solution would just be to delete the folder in .m2 and then reinstall in the test project:

rm -rf ~/.m2/com/oresoftware
mvn clean install

then it will have to go to the network to try to find the dep. I am sure this will work, but not sure if it's the optimal workflow

No, that's how the whole dependency resolution works (via the local repository). First it will check in local repository and if not present in the local repository then in central repository.
