Hi,

When creating a maven plugin for the Edgent project, I also setup an 
integration-test
That allows me to test the functionality of the plugin. I used the 
mrm-maven-plugin and the maven-invoker-plugin to get a dedicated local maven 
repo that is filled with all artifacts pulled in during the build. Eventually 
it might help you with your problem.

Just have a look at this build:

    Thank you all for the helpful answers. Some of the articles linked does
    indeed have a working solution - using "mvn install" instead of "mvn
    dependency:go-offline". That way everything gets downloaded. The reason
    that wasn't working for me was, that I'm using the Spring Boot plugin which
    looks for a main class - so it cannot be run on a pom file with no sources.
    I'm still wondering however about the contract for dependency:go-offline...
    how can you go-offline if only a part of your dependencies get's cached and
    as soon as you try to run install you will run into missing deps?
    So the question of the day (maybe worth another thread) is "Isn't mvn
    dependency:go-offline supposed to download all dependencies?"
