Fair enough, I can understand that. Actually there is good reason to install a Maven Repository Manager on laptops. It means that you can work disconnected (as long as you have already downloaded the artifacts previously) as the offline flag (-o) doesn't always work that great. I guess the more inquisitive students will find enough stuff on the internet that they can do this themselves when they face this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
