I have the following dependency in my pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>aGroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>anArtifact</artifactId>
    <version>aVersion</version>
</dependency>

I also have the anArtifact-aVersion.jar file in ~/.m2/repository/aGroup/anArtifact/aVersion directory.

When I start building the project, maven looks for a .pom file instead of using the .jar file and attempts to download the following

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/aGroup/anArtifact/aVersion/anArtifact-aVersion.pom

How can I configure maven to use the existing .jar file?

    Every jar needs to have a pom file describing it, you can just add something simple like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>aGroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>aArtifactId</artifactId>
    <version>aVersion</version>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <name>a Name</name>
</project>
