Be aware that it is easy to include URLs in plugin configurations - which obviously won't work in offline mode. e.g. Checkstyle configuration files, javadoc links to Java APIs, etc. I know when our build server went SNAFU we couldn't easily go offline. We also needed to use -DskipTests and -Dcheckstyle.skip If you can add some notes to that effect that would be tops. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
