The offline option has gone away for 1.0. There are Maven tasks you can use to start the server, deploy some stuff, and then shut the server down again -- not sure if that would work for you. There was talk about creating a dedicated offline development tool, but I don't think it's been a super-high priority. Of course, having more use cases helps motivate things like that. :)
I'm not sure if there's a JIRA for this or not -- if you get a chance, can you review the JIRAs in the "deployment" category and see if there's one discussing offline deployment and if not add one and describe why you need it?
