title: how to add external jar to maven webapp project
body: <p>I have a Spring roo project (basically a maven project).  I want to add dropbox sdk to the project, problem is it's not in maven.  I added the following files</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;com.dropbox&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;dropbox-sdk&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;1.3.1&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;scope&gt;system&lt;/scope&gt;
          &lt;systemPath&gt;${project.basedir}/libs/dropbox-java-sdk-1.3.1.jar&lt;/systemPath&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It solved the compile error, but when i run the project, in Spring Tool Suite, the jar files are not added to war lib folder.  How do I make maven add my external jar files to my the war lib folder?</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to install the jar in maven since, I have to install it in all the machines that uses the project</p>
