Indeed, silently trusting Maven to automatically "do the right thing" in places that are important to me is a recipe for disaster.
Agreed. To me the solution is just to take control of Maven. For instance, with explicit declarations of plugin versions, enforcing rules, etc...
For example, I lose count of the number of times that I've tried to perform some task on my laptop, offline, just to discover that Maven hasn't yet downloaded the prerequisite plugin...

In what does this differ from the possibility that you just forgot to pull the latest updates from the SCM before getting offline? :-)
