MavenDependencyResolver will act exactly that way, if the local
repository contains the artifact, it will be fetched from there, if not
remote repositories will be touched. 

If you want to make it super fast, you can enforce it to work in offline
mode. 

If you want to ensure it won't pollute your build repository, you can
point it to completely different local repository.

The biggest advantage w.r.t. using jar stored in filesystem is that it
can resolve transitive dependencies if you want it to do so.

MavenDependencyResolver is using Aether, which is a repository
abstraction used in Maven as well. Yes, it does use a local repository
and it is able to recycle most of the configuration either in
settings.xml or pom.xml.
