There is something strange going on here. When you build and are NOT offline, maven will copy things it needs from the remote repo it is using to your local repo and then use them.
If you are using several remote repos (e.g. your local repo server and maven central) it gets more complex. But, still, the files it decides to use from whichever remote repo it does use get copied onto your machine's repo and then used for the build. That is not to say that it always copies those remote files to your machine's repo. It only does that in a couple of cases (and someone should correct me if I have this wrong) 1) Files are copied from some remote repo to the repo on your machine if those files (with the exact right versions) are not on your machine. Remember that if every descriptor from group to version is used to differentiate files. 2) Files are copied from some remote repo to the repo on your machine if those files are SNAPSHOT versions (meaning the name of the version ends in the word SNAPSHOT). However, this only happens now and then. For example when you use -U it will update snapshots. Otherwise, as I remember, it will happen once a day. When you are doing offline builds, only the repo on your machine is used and nothing, of course, is ever copied into place. Finally, one note about versions that aren't final versions. If someone creates mygroup:myjar:1.1 and puts it in some remote repo ("remote" means it is not in the local repo, which is on your machine). When you build something that needs that, it gets copied to your local repo. If someone else creates something else and puts it on any remote repo (or all remote repos) and calls it mygroup:myjar:1.1 it will NEVER be copied to your machine. Notice that is the same versioning as before. (Of course, you could delete the file out of your local repo and it really would be copied onto your machine but that's tinkering with the repo and, I guess, means that "NEVER" is a bit strong.) That being said, why would this work: 1) build offline .. working (this will use only files in the local repo) 2) build NOT offline ... failing (but coping any remote file needed into place on your machine and not copying any remote file that changed but still has the save versioning info) 3) build offline ... working (with the same versions as the preceding NON-offline build) Step 2 and 3 build with exactly the same versions. Perhaps there is more to it than the available version in the remote repo Maybe you could move your local repo or rename it and then build NON-offline. This would build with the versions in the remote repo being used, which is, as I read your emails, a server at your company functioning as a proxy or cache. (Perhaps it would help us if you told us what you were using as the cache/proxy.) Of course, this is complicated and I could have something all wrong. -- Lee On Feb 18, 2008 3:21 PM, Benjamin Scribner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the reply, Brett. > > I do not think that this is a hibernate plugin issue because my build is > working and tests are passing when I am in offline mode.
