Description

We can create POMs for things like jdbc, jdo, etc, and just not house the JARs at ibiblio.

An attempt to use them, when not present locally, should provide a sensible error message.

We should provide a plugin that will install a file in the local repository, ie:

m2 install:install -Dartifact=/path/to/jdbc-2.0.jar -DgroupId=jdbc -DartifactId=jdbc -Dversion=2.0

(modify the install:install mojo to allow taking these parameters instead of a #project)
