I had a similar situation, where some jars were needed (including JDBC
drivers) and those jars were slightly different on different developer
machines, therefore specifying them through POM was not an option. I took
the maven.xml pregoal approach and everything is fine for several months
now. I cannot gurarantee it's "legal" from Maven's point of view, but it
works for us.
