Use a file based remote repository instead of trying to build in offline mode.
You can either use a repository manager to create the remote repository or an
empty local repository with a full build. As noted though, you have to remove
all local repository metadata and files if you create the repository locally.
Now that you have the repository that contains everything you need to build
create a settings.xml with a mirror pointing to a file-based repository. You
shouldn’t need to build in offline mode but using a file-base repository in
your mirror will effectively be the same. This way you will not be subject to
every Maven plugins potentially flaking handling of offline mode.

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track
of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget
the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful
groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a
clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as
signs of decline and decay.
