There are many reasons why a project would use a JAR file which isn't in a 
repository. So I'm assuming Maven cannot be configured to handle this?   It 
seems to me if I can configure the <dependencySet> to include 
<scope>system</scope> dependencies then I should also be able to make a similar 
configuration with the <manifest><addClasspath>.  Or is there another way of 
accomplishing the same thing?

System scope is meant for system objects that would be present on the
target os, something like MFC.dll etc. Using it to work around having
the jar in a repository is a definite anti-pattern.  Instead have it
uploaded to your Corporate Nexus repository.
