George, Nor am I a Maven expert, by any stretch of the imagination!
But from experience, when you want to work with Maven such that is uses only the local repository you must use the -o (the offline only) option when executing your builds. I will look at your other questions because I think there are some other things you can do as alternatives.

Now I have a need to create a local file-based repository to be used by maven when building my project. I need this because I have no net access from a set of VMs I and colleagues have to use . I was thinking of the following: 1) connected to the net, normally proceed and download all necessary artifacts 2) copy these jars with > cp -r Users/gkarabotsos/.m2/repository . 3) Add the following to my pom.xml <repositories> <repository> <id>localrepository</id> <url>file:///c:/repository/</url> </repository> </repositories> I do know that it does not work--I am guessing my c:/repository structure does not have the correct form. I have also seen, in the net, commands such as the following: mvn install:install-file -Dfile=YOUR_JAR.jar -DgroupId=YOUR_GROUP_ID -DartifactId=YOUR_ARTIFACT_ID -Dversion=YOUR_VERSION -Dpackaging=jar -DlocalRepositoryPath=/var/www/html/mavenRepository Is this the only correct way? I have yet to try it, primarily because I have a few dozen artifacts and doing so will take me a long time.
