automatically go offline

[Reto Bachmann-Gmür <re...@gmuer.ch>]

I would like to automatically switch betwenn online and offline mode
depending on the network interface that i have activated. I've
configured NetworkManager to create a file (/tmp/fast-network-up)
whenever a fast network interface is up, I would like to configure maven
to switch to offline mode when this file is missing.

I've tried using profiles in settings.xml, as in
<profiles>
		<profile>
			<id>offline</id>
			<activation>
				<file>
				<missing>/tmp/fast-network-upg</missing>
				</file>
			</activation>
			<properties>
				<offline.value>true</offline.value>
			</properties>
		</profile>
</profiles>
<offline>${offline.value}</offline>

but had no success. any idea?

Cheers,
reto

This works, thanks! had to configure netbeans not to use the buil-in maven.

You could adjust the "mvn" shell script to look for that file and pass
in -o (or not) rather than depending on what seem to be bugs in the
profile handling, at least as a short-term fix.

nothing, it still made network connections, I was thinking that I might
not use the property in the same file as its defined...

What happened?

There's an issue [1] complaining that a profile intended to be
activated when a file is missing is *always* active.  You might want
to comment on/vote for it if you're having the same problem.
