title: Why Maven is looking for .pom file when .jar is present in the repository?
body: <p>I have the following dependency in my pom.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;aGroup&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;anArtifact&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;aVersion&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also have the <code>anArtifact-aVersion.jar</code> file in <code>~/.m2/repository/aGroup/anArtifact/aVersion</code> directory.</p>
  
  <p>When I start building the project, maven looks for a <code>.pom</code> file instead of using the <code>.jar</code> file and attempts to download the following</p>
  
  <p><code>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/aGroup/anArtifact/aVersion/anArtifact-aVersion.pom</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I configure maven to use the existing <code>.jar</code> file?</p>
