IIUC, your project openmeetings depends on red5 libraries. About your questions:
1) Not actually a Maven issue, but you seem to think the way to go it to build that dependency. As the project is ASLv2, you would far better make sure/ask it be uploaded to Maven Central. Then just just the <dependency> in a normal way/ Maven is actually very straightforward if you follow the Maven Way (yeah, sounds like a sect somehow, you may think ;-)). 2) Once again, what does contain that tgz? If it contains jars and so on, then forget about downloading and decompressing it during your buil. Or you're gonna a world of despair. Just upload those libs under some sensible coordinates in a corporate (or better, in Maven Central if the project is OSS), and add the dependency. Please ask more questions/give more precisions if you want more precise help.
