    <artifactId>myArtifact</artifactId>
    <bundleFileName>myArtifact-x.0.jar</bundleFileName>
    <bundleDir>[Destination-Path]</bundleDir>
   </javaModule>
  </modules>

 <dependency>
  <groupId>myProjectGroup</groupId>
  <artifactId>myArtifact</artifactId>
  <version>x.0</version>
  <type>jar</type>
 </dependency>

    <bundleDir>[Destination-Path]</bundleDir>
   </javaModule>
  </modules>
 </configuration>
Step3: Add the dependency as follows:
 <dependency>
  <groupId>externalGroup</groupId>
  <artifactId>externalJarArtifact</artifactId>
  <version>x.0</version>
  <scope>system</scope>
