[forge-dev] Unit Test failures

Mon May 16 11:33:00 EDT 2011

The offline flag is getting read from ForgeEnvironmentImpl:

   public boolean isOnline()
   {
      Object offline = shell.getProperty(ShellImpl.OFFLINE_FLAG);
      return offline == null ? false :
!Boolean.parseBoolean(offline.toString());
   }

By default, it seems that the OFFLINE_FLAG property is not set
resulting in isOnline() returning "false", so either other devs have
this set somehow or, the artifacts that are being tested are already
in their local repos.  If you have a chance, remove the
prettyfaces-jsf2 folders from your local repo and see if you can
reproduce the problem.
