Java Programming

Hello all,

I am working on a computer without Internet access and I am trying to setup a simple offline Maven local windows repository which would hold all my personal jars. My goal is to use Maven without any central repository, but only a local repository used only by me.Is it possible to do this with Maven? I've tried to put a <repository> tag in my pom to no avail.

The problem I encountered is that each time I launch a 'mvn' command (such as mvn compile, mvn build, mvn package....) it tries to download some plugin files from the Internet (such as org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.2 ) and since I don't have it I get an error such as +'Reason: Unable to download the artifact from any repository org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.2'+
I am really stuck here could anybody help me out?

Thanks in advance,
Jimmy
