Something for this will never be built into Maven. You lose anything
Maven provides in the way of auto-downloading and verification. I would
recommend you save yourself much grief and spend 10 minutes and make
yourself a local repository. But do what you like, here's one way you
might do it:
<project
xmlns:ant="jelly:ant"
xmlns:maven="jelly:maven">
<preGoal name="java:compile">
<ant:path id="my.doublebarrel.classpath">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</ant:path>
<maven:addPath
id="maven.dependency.classpath"
refid="my.doublebarrel.classpath"/>
</preGoal>
</project>
Again, I do not recommend you do this.
