Easiest way to build in connectionless environment?
We're using maven day to day in normal developer environment. People do their
builds on the local computer and dependencies get automatically fetched to
the local repositories.
Now occasionally there's need to build project X on some computer Y which
has no internet connection. How can this be done most easily? Preferrably so
that there's no need to install any additional software such as repository
managers on target computer Y.
Ideally there would be a simple zip packet with instructions 1-2-3... to
build the software.
One idea is to zip someone's local repository and explode it on target
computer Y before maven buidling there. But this gets a bit messy if local
repository contains a lot of dependencies that are not used in project X.
Is there any integrated support build into maven itself for this kind of use
case? Or maybe some plugins that would help?

I don't see what problems this would cause in practice. Can you elaborate?
I feel setting up local repository managers is an overkill. The need for
connectionless building is ad hoc, we need to build on machine X today, then
on machine Y the next day. I would like to be able to build without too much
effort, not installing and configuring Artifactory or other repository
manager each time.

That is not a good idea. If you want to create a connectionless
environment that mocks the way a real environment works then using a
repository manager locally is the best option.
Mixing the use of a single directory structure as your remote and
local repository is almost certainly going to get you into trouble.

Make a copy of your settings file and add to that:
<localRepository>/tmp/tmpRepository</localRepository>
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>userrepository</id>
<name>User Repository</name>
<url>file://${user.home}/.m2/repository</url>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
Now do a mvn install -s settings.xml and you have all the plugins and
dependencies you need for the current build in /tmp/tmpRepository.

You mean like mvn dependency:copy-dependencies? Also take a look at
dependency:go-offline

One thing which would be helpful, would be if there was a command / plugin
which would dump all the dependencies to a hierachy, that could be copied to
target computer's local repository.
