title: Setting Up an Offline Maven Server
body: <p>I work on a standalone development network that has no connection to the internet. I've been putting off using Maven for years because it seems to require an internet connection, but I've finally got fed up with not having the dependencies required by JARs I've manually downloaded off Maven Central, and by documentation assuming that you can use Maven.</p>
  
  <p>Therefore I'm trying to set up my own Maven server on the development network, and periodically clone across projects and their dependencies via CD/USB.</p>
  
  <p>Being a Maven 'newbie' though, I'm struggling to find the information I need to do this. Is someone able to provide me with a guide to achieving the above?</p>
