add custom jar to maven local repository

add custom jar to maven local repository

I want to add a custom jar to my Project. As I understand it the best way
to do that is to first add the jar to my local repository and then to add
it to my pom.xml.
So I tried the following:
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=/home/martin/linuxhome/work/libMediator/libMediator
/dist/libMediator.jar -DgroupId=com.src.libMediator -DartifactId=libMediator
Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
and then I added the following to my pom.xml:
...
<packaging>war</packaging>
...
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>com.src.libMediator</groupId>
<artifactId>libMediator</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Unfortunately I get the following error:

C_ProdUtility is a class from the jar I want to include,
boilerplate.ReportIdentifizierer is a class which belongs to the Project I
am working on.
I have tried to google the problem, but none of the solutions I found
worked. I could use the System Scope and give the location of the jar via
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/libMediator.jar</systemPath>
. Then it compiles but this is discouraged and the jar isn't provided at
runtime. I haven't found out how to do that.
If I use
compile
The resulting .war gives the following error-message:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.src.libMediator.prod.C_ProdUtility
from [Module "deployment.Reportgenerator.war:main" from Service Module
Loader]
I verified that com.src.libMediator.prod.C_ProdUtility is in the
libMediator.jar
