Hi Eugene, Thank you for the hint, just tried it, eclipse standalone update should really ease the process.
For information i used the following command (on eclipse-europa-winter) : java -jar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20080118.jar -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update -to /tmp/m2_offline_mirror As for the proxy support, i agree, eclipse and therefore the standalone manager both make a proper use of the proxy settings i define in my jvm (- Dhttp.proxyHost -Dhttp.proxyPort). Unfortunately there is no way we can use it here directly (fortunately i can make use of a box unconnected to the enterprise network but directly hooked to the internet...). As i was telling in my previous post, authentication on our enterprise proxy could be very specific, not being BASIC or DIGEST or even NTLM...., so no way any basic client can make it through it (only internet browsers do but that involve a very "un-standard" way to authenticate). That's mainly for people meeting those kind of constraints i was suggesting that offline archive (as subclipse from tigris do for instance).
