Add the -DgeneratePom=true to your command and a local POM will be generated. This should stop the systematic lookup on new builds.

So we had to manually install them to our local repository using the following command. mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> \ -DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging> However, this command only installs the jar file into the local repository. So what happens is - whenever I started my maven build, it always tries to retrieve the corresponding pom file for each of the 3rd-party jar files from central repository, which of course are not there. So the warning message always displayed like this: [WARNING] Unable to get resource from repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) It's quite annoying. It's annoying not because of the message itself, it's because it slows down my build process. I don't want it to go to central repository to retrieve something that I know is not there. I only need the jar file and it's already in my local repository. why it always tries to retrieve the pom file from central? Is there a way to disable this??? Please advise.
