[jira] [Created] (MDEP-904) Drop go-offline goal

Tamas Cservenak created MDEP-904:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Drop go-offline goal
                 Key: MDEP-904
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-904
             Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: go-offline
            Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
             Fix For: 4.0.0


The simplest and trivial way to "go offline" is to build the project with empty local repository and use that.

There are two "go offline" mojos out there (ours and an independent one) and both suffer from issues like "annotation processor is not downloaded", etc. This will just become worse. But not only this: by NOT building but by artificially collecting artifacts needed for build (not doable correctly, only "almost correctly") messes up the recorded contexts in the reverse dependency tree in local repository as well.

Remember, Maven2 times are past, Maven3+ local repository is much much more than Maven2 local repository was, just a bunch a files...
