I guess I meant to say I want to run:
  $mvn -P init

to run an init profile (I understand about build life cycles and do not want
to write a new one)
but rather want to type $mvn -P init

and have specific already built .jar files in /lib/*.jar to be installed
into my local repo.  These jars are not available in any public maven
repository.

thanks
