[M2] offline

[Pe...@ubs.com]

Hi 

For Maven 2 working in offline mode where the project is behind a
firewall / proxy 
and disconnected from the Internet.

I get this error 

mvn clean
[INFO] Scanning for projects...

Even though I copied my entire M2 repository to the test machine, and
reset
the ~/.m2/setting.xml to point to the new repository. I assumed with my
217MB repository that worked on my developer machine, it would work also
on the isolated machine.

Is there a way of telling M2 to not look outside?

What does the <offline> in the settings.xml actually do, then?

See here http://maven.apache.org/settings.html
