I think we're spreading FUD about using Xerces Jars within Maven. Lets not
do it.

I know very well about Maven and Gradle build systems. They both allow
having a local standalone Jar as part of Maven and Gradle builds
respectively. With Maven it can be done using the "mvn
install:install-file" command I referred in my previous mail. With Gradle,
it can be done via following syntax,

repositories {
   flatDir {
       dirs 'libs'
   }
}

(a Jar needs to be simply available in a local "libs" folder, for Gradle to
pick it).

Any good java build system, ought to provide methods to have local
standalone Jars as part of builds.
