I work with repository in local network without Internet access. I run build and fall with error because maven can not find a plugin. I can use other plugin but I am not sure that they stored in repository.
It is possible to run some maven command and see all plugins which available in local repository?
I don't think there is a local command to do this. But usually repositories have a web interface that allows you to browser or search.

Unfortunately, my project has an external dependency that was never published to any Maven repository. The only way I can get it is by direct download from github (they pushed the binary to github).
One (bad) way is to download the jar manually and commit/push it to my code repository (git). It wouldn't help me to manually deploy this artifact in my local binary repository because I share this project with external contributors that cannot access my private binary repo.
I wonder if maven has a better way to handle this? (Given that I can't upload the artifact to my repo or public repo).
I know that npm allows getting some dependencies from URL. Does maven support it as well?
AFAIK there is no nice way to handle this. You could
Write a script that downloads the jar and installs it in your local Maven repository. This script could be shared through your code repository.
Include downloading and installing the artifact into the Maven build process (by writing a Maven plugin or using the antrun plugin)
Set up a nexus in the cloud that everyone in your team can access.
I have a Gradle project with several subprojects and many, many dependencies. I would like to have a simple way to tell Gradle to download all dependencies (including those under buildscript!) and put them in a local Maven/Ivy repository for later use. The Gradle script should then be able to pull all dependencies from the local repository.
Background: I need to build the application on a server which has absolutely no access to any public Maven repositories, so all dependencies must already be present on the host. I've tried a flat directory, but I have not found it easy to resolve the transitive dependencies, and managing them by hand is not an option. Copying the Gradle cache did not work, either.
Can anyone suggest something? Thanks.
I found a solution, namely to install Apache Archive (http://archiva.apache.org/) locally and set it up as a proxy. Then I copied the entire installation to the target-server and disabled the remote repositories. The dependencies could then be fetched locally.
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
Is it possible in someway to configure my build job such that rather than picking maven artifacts from the central repo , it picks them from the local maven repo. residing on my system?
NOTE - I want others to be able to run build jobs via jenkins , while pointing to my fusion repo.
Thanks
If you want to share a maven repository with multiple users I recommend to use a repository manager see maven repository management. The mostly used once are Artifactory and Nexus. This can handle the central repo as well as own managed repositories by ThirdParties or by your self. They also work as proxy to reduce the bandwidth used in your organisation.
Much easier method to achieve local-only maven builds.
Just use the offline flag (-o):
mvn -o clean package
Maven will build off your local repo directly and will not pull down updates.
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.
