No written rule, but the practice is to mark a test that needs to talk to a
server
(remote or local, does not matter) or fetch a remote file as an OnlineTest.
However sometimes a test accesses the internet without the developer even
being
aware of it, and they are hard to spot because it's uncommon to do a build
in a fully
isolated environment (happens to me when I try to hack on a plane, but
that's pretty much it,
and have to prepare the machine in advance to make sure maven already has
all
the jars it needs).

Do you have a list?

For the case of a build server, maven itself needs internet access, e.g, to
get artifacts when version change, or
when a new dependency is added.
Unless you're thinking about a situation where there is also a dedicated
and accessible repository manager,
which can access the internet on behalf of maven.

I guess it could be useful to have a build checking if the code can be
built without
internet connection, guessing it would first need an online pass making
maven load
everything it needs, and then disconnect the network and run the tests.
Not sure if feasible though (thinking about Travis for example).

Yes, this is the common way to do fix that problem.
