The proper way to get jars into a maven repository is to have maven do it. You need to set up a POM to describe the item(s) you want deployed to the repository. This includes the version IDs, since one of maven's selling points is managing multiple versions of resources.
If you don't have the appropriate maven infrastructure, maven won't be able to locate and retrieve the jars in question.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
