I am interested in using a project on GitHub as a dependency in my project. The GitHub project has a pom file. Can I modify my pom file to use this project? If so, how? If not, what is my best course of action?

To bring a GitHub hosted Maven project into Eclipse, follow these steps: Copy the GitHub URL of the repository to the clipboard. Open Eclipse and choose Import –> Projects from Git (with smart import) Choose the Clone URI option in the Git import wizard and click Next.
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Above the list of files, click Code. Click Open with GitHub Desktop to clone and open the repository with GitHub Desktop. Follow the prompts in GitHub Desktop to complete the clone.
GIT holds the sourcecode of your application. MAVEN is used for dependency management. It holds the binary dependecies of your application. It also creates a abstraction of the used IDE.
Try jitpack, you just need to add the dependency, jitpack will build others for you.
From home page:
jitpack

Not in the way I think you mean, AFAIK.
You can use github as a Maven repository--this is not the same thing as directly referencing a project, and that it has a pom file means only that it's a Maven project.
If the project is not available in the central, or other, repository, your best bet may be to clone it, build it, and install it locally. You should confirm that it's truly not available elsewhere.
