Add dependency to Maven without editing pom.xml

Question

I'm trying to add a JAR local file as a dependency to a Maven project in Eclipse, but I have the restriction that the client doesn't want me to edit the pom.xml file.

My JAR is located in WEB-INF/lib. I tried the solution proposed in Adding Jar File to WEB-INF/lib but it didn't work.

To verify that the project compiles correctly adding the JAR, I added it in the pom.xml file in my machine and it worked.

The official documentation of Maven proposes three solutions, all of them involve editing the pom.xml file: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependencies

Is it actually possible to include a JAR dependency to a Maven project without editing the pom.xml file?
