I am interested in using a project on GitHub as a dependency in my project. The GitHub project has a pom file. Can I modify my pom file to use this project? If so, how? If not, what is my best course of action?
Not in the way I think you mean, AFAIK.
You can use github as a Maven repository–this is not the same thing as directly referencing a project, and that it has a pom file means only that it’s a Maven project.
If the project is not available in the central, or other, repository, your best bet may be to clone it, build it, and install it locally. You should confirm that it’s truly not available elsewhere.
