You also need to set this property: maven.repo.remote.enabled = false I know this is somewhat confusing but the offline property actually controls things like the changelog plugins that attempts to connect to a remote server. Setting the offline property stops any sort of remote connection, but this property doesn't control downloading artifacts. So you need to control the remote repository behaviour with the above mentioned property. If I remember correctly I implemented this for Vincent who wanted to be online to so change log reports would be generated but wanted the repo disabled. > Brendan. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brendan Lawlor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 28 June 2003 14:30 > To: Maven Users List > Subject: RE: Dependency lists for 'main' projects > > > Sorry - misread your first reply.
