How to work with a `.jar` file in your local maven setup : Add, Install, Use dependency

Sometimes you want to work with a jar file that isn't hosted in maven central. It might be a 3rd party jar, it might be one that you have written.

I explain the following options:

- add .jar files as an IntelliJ project dependency
- install it locally to your .m2 repository
- add it to your project as a system scoped file
- use a repository management tool like Nexus or Archiva
- publish the dependency to maven central
