Description

$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-3/trunk

$ LOCAL_REPO=`mktemp -d`

$ # this should fail as the local repo is empty

$ mvn -o -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO validate 

$ GLOBAL_SETTINGS=` \
   mvn -o -X -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO validate |\
   sed -n 's/\[DEBUG\] Reading global settings from \(.*\)/\1/p'` &&\
  LOCAL_SETTINGS=` \
   mvn -o -X -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO validate |\
   sed -n 's/\[DEBUG\] Reading user settings from \(.*\)/\1/p'` &&\
  rm -f "$LOCAL_SETTINGS"

$ $EDITOR "$GLOBAL_SETTINGS" # set offline to true

$ # this will work but should fail since the repo is empty and the settings.xml says offline

$ rm -rf $LOCAL_REPO && mkdir -p $LOCAL_REPO && mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO validate 

$ mkdir -p "`dirname "$LOCAL_SETTINGS"`" && echo cp "$GLOBAL_SETTINGS" "$LOCAL_SETTINGS"

$ # now that the user's settings.xml is the same as the system, it should fail again as it is offline

$ rm -rf $LOCAL_REPO && mkdir -p $LOCAL_REPO && mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO validate
