building, installing, using maven COMPLETELY OFFLINE (setting up
local mini repository)
All,
I need to support a project where I cannot access the internet, even
by proxy. And I'd like to use some tools that require maven support
for building (apache commons, for example).
I see offline mode, and gave it a try, but it STILL seems to still
want to connect to the internet when both building maven, and when
building apache commons. This is as of 2.1.0.
Anyways, what I was hoping to do was to trick maven to run from a sole
pre setup repository; ie: to build a cache on another machine, tar up
that complete cache and move that cache to the local directory to
build it from there. I would have thought this would be simple (in
fact it should work out of the box IMO) but I don't see any HOWTO
document offhand.
Any help on this would be great and IMO this should be a FAQ.
Thanks much,
Ed

doesn't have a search feature for some odd reason.

Nexus is very nice and easy to setup and has a very modern-looking
browser based user interface.
We just started using it in a shared mode and it really helps.

I run a repository manager (Archiva) on my local machine, allowing me to clean my local repository at any time without concern, and getting other advantages like less configuration, whitelist/blacklist, search, etc.
What type of errors are you getting in offline mode? Is it missing artifacts that weren't obtained before you went offline, or attempts to get things that you should already have?
BTW, for search, there are several alternative archives on the mailing lists page, but you can also google with "site:http://mail-archives/mod_mbox/maven-users/"
