Thank you Colin, that was very helpful and I appreciate it.
For benefit of anyone searching the archives in the future, this works.
Add this to your project.properties file:
maven.jar.override=on
maven.jar.something=${basedir}/src/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/something.jar
(where you substitute the name of your jar for "something")
You still need to specify the dependency in your project.xml, such as
<dependency>
<id>something</id>
<version>1.0</version>
<jar>something.jar</jar>
</dependency>

The repository is a nice feature. But I'm making a web app example that
inexperienced developers can use. Maven raises the bar very high: it is
still in beta, it is riddled with undocumented features (see above), and
the repository feature makes use impractical for developers at the bottom
of a dial-up connection (I got 28MB on disk with no warning how much disk
space I'd need or how long the process would take -- I'm glad I have
broadband!). *I* want to use Maven (because I can generate documentation,
javadocs, and test reports at one go -- thank you!) but I can't expect
everyone to install Maven just to build a simple web app. Ant will do for
that.
