I need to set up Spring and Maven for working offline. I am working with Spring Tool Suite.What environment variables do I need to configure besides M2 env var? When I try to add dependencies in pom.xml, and type springframework, nothing comes up in the search bar. I get "Core exception Could not calculate build plan Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:m. I understand STS uses web services to locate the jars, so how do I configure Spring and Maven to work offline? Thank you.
Maven uses central repositoty to update dependencies via internet if you want run it offline you need to configure you local repository.See Setting local Maven repository
This is something that you will find very difficult or near impossible unless you somehow get all the relevant jars from spring and place them in your .m2 repo directory.
Your question has been asked a number of times on here ...
Have a look through these 2 questions which I assume is exactly what you have encountered.
Question 1
Question 2
Also one last note ...
After you setup your variables did you restart your PC I know sometimes I forget to do this when updating environment variables.
Before you go offline run the following:
mvn dependency:go-offline
That will download all your dependencies and plugins that you need to build your project into ~/.m2/repository.
Once you've run that you can now build your project offline using the '-o' flag:
mvn install -o
It's also possible to configure the offline mode globally by setting the offline property in the ~/.m2/settings.xml file:
true

I am working recently with spring boot framework
my problem is that I need to set up to environment in a device that has no internet
I have searched A lot but all I found is using maven that will handle the processes of downloading all the dependencies
put I need to add the required dependencies like the old way when you download the jar files and add them to the class-path
is there a way to do so with STS
or is there a way to change where the maven download the dependencies to be from local instead of internet
Never used STS but I assume it uses maven/gradle under the hood.
You can set up local repository and point maven/gradle to it. For example you could use Nexus:
https://www.sonatype.com/products/repository-oss
Another way is to pull dependencies (they get downloaded when you do maven or gradle build and are saved under ~/.m2 or ~/.gradle directories), then copy your ~/.gradle or ~/.m2 directory to the PC with no internet and build offline. With gradle it looks like this.
./gradlew build --offline
Maven has concept of global settings and user-level settings, that compose into effective-settings for build purposes, see this.
The question is, how can I disable inheritance of global settings inheritance for some particular build?
Command mvn verify -s settings.xml overrides only user-level settings for me, global ones are still visible in effective-settings.
If you are working on an maven-invoker-plugin test you can define a separate settings.xml file in the src/it/....
If you need having a separate repositories or using particular dependencies you should use the mock repository manager which is intended for such things.
The basic test if you integration tests is correct start with empty local repository by using mvn clean version which should work.
As an example you can take a look at the versions-maven-plugin which uses such setup.
i have installed Apache Maven 2.2.1, but this server doesn't have internet connection. So maven couldn't install basic plugins. Can i do it manually, could someone tell my how to do it, please.
I would suggest to do the needed build on a machine which has internet access and transfer the local maven repository later to the target machine.
Or better solution using a repository manager where this machine has access to which solves the problem completely.

Go to the MvnRepository, search for the one you need and download the binary. Store it in the appropriate local maven repository directories to be pulled in from there or manually add a reference to wherever you store the .jar
I have a maven multi module project with several modules. I want to deploy them (mvn deploy) only if they all pass a full mvn install (which includes the tests).
Currently, I run a mvn install on the project. If all modules pass, I run mvn deploy to do the deployment. The problem I see is the waste of time calling mvn twice (even if I skip tests on the second run).
Does anyone have an idea on this?
EDIT: I have learned that using Artifactory as a repository manager and the maven-artifactory-plugin with your maven setup will add the atomic deploy behaviour to the mvn deploy command. See the Build Integration section in the Artifactory documentation.
[DISCLOSURE - I'm associated with JFrog. Artifactory creator.]
Take a look at the deployAtEnd parameter of Maven Deployment plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-mojo.html
This is a bit tricky. Maven is not atomic when it executes the build life-cycle. So a broken set of artifacts may end up in a repository.
One solution I know is Nexus Pro: http://www.sonatype.com/Products/Nexus-Professional/Features - it allows you to promote builds or define certain repos as staging. So only verified versions get promoted to be used. Maybe artifactory has something similar - I just don't know.
If that solution is too expensive you probably need to create a cleanup build or profile to remove artifacts that where already uploaded. My first guess would be to write a Maven plugin to use the the proxy remote API or maybe the maven features are already sufficient. But since deploy means update the meta-data xml files too I dont think there is a delete - not sure on this either.
I'm new to maven project.
I'm changing an ant project to maven project.
To install the 3rd party jar's in maven local repository, I used install command.
Its trying to download the resource jar.pom.
I don't have download access in my organization so the build failed for installtion.
After request i got the resouce jar and clean jar in my desktop(also i can get other necessary jar).
How to make maven to use these jar for the process and how to install the jar in local repository without internet acess.
I downloaded the jar and placed in local repository but it couldn't point the path and use those jars.
please let me know what steps i have follow to run maven install and other commands to build the project without internet access.
where should i placed the jar which i have downloaded by external way.
Please guide me for building and deploying the project.
Thanks in advance.

I've posted same question in these link
You need an internet connection. Maven isn't initially self-sufficient. It needs to download a bunch of plugins along with their dependencies and the dependencies of your own project. And this really depends on what sort of settings you have for your projects. One set up will require one set of dependencies, another - a whole different one. You can't download artifacts from the Maven Central manually and then install them locally one by one. Simply put, that sounds stupid.
I understand that you're coming from the Ant world where Ant has everything it needs on the local file system. However, Maven relies on the fact that it will have a central repository (either Maven Central, or your own repository - Nexus, Artifactory, etc.) from which to download the plugins and dependencies it needs. There is no point in you migrating to Maven, unless you'll be allowed access to the Central Maven Repository.
Yes, indeed, you can run Maven offline and you can have Maven produce a local repository for you to use when you are in offline mode. However, what you're trying to do is against Maven's principles.
If your company won't allow access to Maven Central, just stick to Ant. Your effort will be a waste of your company's and, ultimately, your own time.
In fact the maven strenght is mainly in the internet accessible repositories and automatic dependency management. But it's possible to use this tool to build your project if you have all dependencies required for your project in your local repository. Then you may use -o option for offline mode and maven will not try to download updated artefact versions.
To get the artifacts into you local repository you have several options:
1) connect to the internet once and mvn build the project (this will download all required dependencies)
2) install dependencies as jar to the local repository manualy (using appropriate mvn command)
I think the questioner is looking for -o or --offline option for mvn. This is a command line option and can be provided while executing.
I think you can setup your repo correctly and execute the mvn goals once when you are connected to internet and use the -o option for later executions .
Hope this helps.

You can configure maven to run in offline mode. Add this entry to your settings.xml
<offline>true</offline>
See here for further information:
http://maven.apache.org/settings.html
Before you can use offline mode, you have to install all necessary third party jars to your local maven repository.
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=filename.jar
-DgroupId=com.stackoverflow
-DartifactId=artifact
-Dversion=1.0.0
-Dpackaging=jar
-DcreateChecksum=true
-DgeneratePom=true
It's much easier to get those jars in your local repository using an internet connection and online mode.
It's possible to install these resource jars in your local maven repo using install-file. This will make the available to the build. You'll have to do this for each individually, but once that's done you won't have to do anything special.
To be clear, maven puts everything in your local repository, both the jar you're building with this project and the various library jars. Because your system cannot be connected to the internet to maven can populate the local repo with your libraries, you'll have to use this manual approach.
Edit: You should be able to run install-file anywhere. When you do, you'll need to provide the groupId, artifactId, version, and packaging using the command line options. If you already have a POM file for the library, you can provide that instead via -DpomFile=your-pom.xml.
This question has some useful info: How to manually install an artifact in Maven 2?
