Hi Everyone,
I wanted to take a few minutes and submit some thoughts I've documented regarding offline mode in m2. My hope is to start a discussion of what parts of the m2 system can reasonably be assumed to be offline-sensitive. The goal is to factor as much of this offline sensitivity as possible into APIs for plugins, phases, etc. to use, so that plugging new pieces into the offline mode will be as easy as possible.
Thanks for your patience in reading and responding to such a large email. Now, having said all that :), here are the contents of an APT document I've started on this topic:

Just a naive question:
Wasn't the offline mode in maven needed only for avoiding checking if newer snapshots are available
every time maven was run?
Is it still needed if better control if and when such checks have to be made is going to be given?
