How do I make a job resolve its maven dependencies with artifacts from previous jobs in the same plan

Question

The documentation out there is unclear about whether this is even possible.

Can I configure a Bamboo plan, such that maven dependencies are resolved (were appropriate) via artifacts from a previous job, in a different stage?

I need to be able to do this so that my branch builds don't cross contaminate one another. Is this possible?

I ended up following a variation on this: http://twasink.net/2013/11/18/building-dependent-maven-projects-in-bamboo/

In short, I grabbed the asset from the previous job, installed it into my build agent's local repo, ran my tasks and then manually purged it from the agent's repo. That worked just fine.
