Hello list, according to documentation at http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.4/maven-settings/settings.html , Maven should avoid all downloads if <offline/> is set in ~/.m2/settings.xml :
+++++++++++++++++++++++ Cite start ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Element Description -------------------- offline Indicate whether maven should operate in offline mode full-time. ======================== Cite end ===================================== However, this does not work for me, e.g. Maven *does* download (sometimes temporarily invalid) JAR files in offline mode. Note, that "maven -o <target>" *will* work offline as expected (but I want a permanent solution). My environment: $ mvn --version Maven version: 2.0.7 Java version: 1.5.0_11 OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.20-16-generic" arch: "i386" $ cat ~/.m2/settings.xml <settings> <offline /> </settings> Do I something wrong or is this a bug...? Thank you very much for your help!
