How do I install modules into the maven repository using Netbeans embedded Maven?

Question

I have the Maven plugin for NetBeans and it successfully set up a local repository for me. Now I need to add a 3rd party library (specifically Oracle JDBC driver) to my repo

Answer 1

I ended up downloading Maven here: http://maven.apache.org/download.html and using the standalone Maven binaries to install the jar into my Maven repository. If anyone has any thoughts on the question, I am still interested in knowing the answer.
