Adding ancient dependency to maven.

How does one add a local jar dependency to maven without a package/group ID?

<dependency>
  <groupId>tld.domain.Project</groupId>
  <artifactId>Name</artifactId>
  <version>1.8</version>
  <scope>system</scope>
  <systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/local.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>tld.domain.Project</groupId>
  <artifactId>Name</artifactId>
  <version>1.8</version>
  <scope>system</scope>
  <systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/local.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

Normally, this ^ is the way to do it... but the jar was built with ant, is ancient, and doesn't have an apparent groupID.🐜

(the dependency has everything directly in its src)

src
|_ file1.java
|_ file2.java
|_ file3.java
|_ '''.java

src
|_ file1.java
|_ file2.java
|_ file3.java
|_ '''.java

It seems to have generated the pom file, but I can't get my netbeans or mvn to recognise the file as jar as the required dependency

(I'm probably missing something obvious, but I'm quite new with building stuff, so I'm oblivious atm) found the problem
