How to download every dependency we need at once?
Hello,
We have a problem that some computers are not connected to the internet,
so Maven cannot download dependencies from there. Because of this, by
default, maven is running in offline mode.
Currently, Maven is set up by an installation script, which installs
maven and does some changes to its settings.xml etc. During setup, an
internet connection does exist. The idea is to change this script, so
that once everything is set up, it would run several maven commands,
like "mvn clean", "mvn deploy" etc. to force Maven to download all
necessary files into the local .m2 directory.
Is there some cleaner way to do this? I know exactly which dependencies
are needed (it's a large list), so is there some maven command to not
build anything, just download these dependencies into the local .m2
directory?
Thanks, Csaba

I have a similar arrangement and would love to see your commands if you can
post them. Thanks in advance.

I work in a sandbox network and have similar issues.
What I do:
1) Internet Connected Host
1.1) Create pom contain all dependencies and plugins used.
1.2) mvn -s settings.xml clean install site
1.3) find, grep -v, sort -u, echo, cat sort -u, echo (obtain list of group
id's downloaded)
1.4) rsync list generated in 1.3
1.5) diff latest rsync with representation of offline repo
1.6) generate diff file, usually a tar.gz
1.7) update representation of offline repo with contents of step 1.6
1.8) burn step 1.6 to disk
2) Standalone Network Host
2.1) same as step 1.7, update repo with contents contained in step 1.6
2.2) Do a full build from the repo updated in step 2.1 to confirm it still
works.
3) Handling updates
3.1) update pom created in step 1.1 or manually update list in step 1.3
3.2) repeat step 1 and 2 when required to download the latest update and
dependencies, sometimes it takes a few attempts to fix all dependencies.
I've worked with offline maven development for a few years and usually I'm
the one managing the repo and it my best solution at this moment.
If you want to commands i execute let me know and I'll post them.

+1
I wouldn't use maven without one, doesn't matter if I have 1 developer or
1000.

+1.
Most of the time, users do not consider installing a repository manager
because they think it's complicated.
Please trust us: it's not, it's very simple.
At least, it's far far less complicated than the huge list of commands given
by John... Installing a mrm can only be a big win for you.
Cheers.

Why not use a corporate repository manager like Nexus or Artifactory? All
users would then configure their Maven to use that as the remote repo for
all artifacts. This will give you a central point where you manage all
artifacts, including both external and internal ones. His instance would
then proxy any remote repos on Internet (if you allow it too).
Any other solution is a hack.

This seems to be almost perfect except it requires a project to exist.
But I'll use it if there's nothing else :)
Thanks, Csaba
